Acre Achieves 150% Growth and Record 20,000 Monthly Mortgage Submissions Post-ClearScore Acquisition

Quick Summary

Acre has achieved a massive 150% revenue growth and record-breaking 20,000 monthly submissions following its acquisition by ClearScore. By leveraging AI-powered workflows and deep lender integrations, the platform is successfully closing the protection gap and streamlining the UK mortgage journey for intermediaries and consumers alike.

How Does Acre Drive Growth for Mortgage Intermediaries?

Acre solves the problem of fragmented mortgage journeys by providing an intuitive intermediary CRM that automates routine tasks. Since the start of 2026, the platform has seen 2.5x revenue growth, driven by its ability to help advisors boost productivity and unlock new revenue streams. Key performance indicators include:

• 20,000 mortgage submissions processed in a single record-breaking month.
• Direct DIP integrations with major lenders like Nationwide and Halifax.
• 85% protection penetration for mortgage cases, significantly outperforming industry averages.

By embedding intelligent automation into the workflow, Acre ensures that every case meets lender requirements before submission, reducing friction and improving conversion rates for firms and networks.

What Role Does AI Play in the New Mortgage Journey?

The AI-powered workflows developed by Acre are transforming compliance from a manual burden into a proactive automated process. By utilizing the resources of the ClearScore Group, Acre is rolling out advanced features including document verification, voice fact-finding, and automated call analysis. These tools allow brokers to focus on high-value client interactions rather than administrative heavy lifting.

"Over the last few years, we’ve proven that technology built from the ground up can reshape the mortgage process and close the protection gap. Now, as we enter the AI era, we’re pushing that transformation further - using intelligent automation to handle the heavy lifting, and elevating broker-client experience." said Justus Brown, Acre founder and Managing Director.

How is Acre Closing the UK Protection Gap?

Acre addresses the UK protection gap by embedding health fact-finding and bespoke risk reports directly into the client portal. This ensures that the "protect your family" conversation happens consistently. While the FCA found that 72% of consumer protection needs go unmet, Acre users identify needs for 85% of clients. This systematic approach, supported by multi-policy sourcing, ensures better customer outcomes and increased commission for advisors.

"Bringing Acre in as a core day-to-day platform marked a pivotal step forward for us as a network, and for our firms and advisers. Since coming onboard, we’ve seen a significant leap in efficiency and opened up opportunities in areas like protection, lead generation, and client communication." said Nicola Ventrella, Operations Director at The Right Mortgage & Protection Network.
