Twenty7tec and New Leaf Network Extend Strategic Mortgage Tech Partnership for Three Years

Twenty7tec has secured a three-year partnership renewal with New Leaf Network, cementing a long-term relationship focused on mortgage advice technology. For fintech professionals, this extension underscores the critical role of integrated sourcing and administration tools in helping networks maintain adviser efficiency and personal service amid a rapidly evolving UK mortgage landscape.

What was announced

The agreement extends a long-standing relationship between the two firms, with the new multi-year contract set to run for a further three years. The primary objective is to equip New Leaf Network’s advisers with technology that streamlines the mortgage advice journey, specifically focusing on creating a more connected and efficient workflow. By leveraging Twenty7tec’s platform, the network aims to reduce the burden of unnecessary administration and manual data entry, which often plagues the mortgage application process.

The technology is designed to allow advice firms to configure the software around their specific operational needs rather than forcing them into a rigid, one-size-fits-all process. This flexibility is key for networks managing diverse groups of advisers. The renewal comes at a time when the mortgage market is facing significant volatility, requiring tools that can keep pace with rapid product changes and shifting regulatory requirements. Both companies have committed to a collaborative approach over the next three years, intending to listen to adviser feedback to ensure the solutions remain relevant to their changing needs. The focus remains on improving the flow of information between advisers and clients while preserving the personal touch essential to financial advice.

"The mortgage market continues to evolve, and networks have a responsibility to provide advisers with technology that keeps pace with that change. Our long-standing partnership with Twenty7tec has helped us support advisers with a more connected and efficient advice process, while preserving the personal service that sits at the heart of good financial advice."

Daniel Hobbs, CEO of New Leaf.

What FF News has reported before

FF News has followed Twenty7tec’s recent expansion and product development closely. In September 2026, the company announced that Gable Mortgages Integrates with Twenty7tec to Expand Zero-Deposit Access, highlighting the platform's role in niche lending sectors. This followed news that Fluxifi Streamlines Mortgage Advice with Twenty7tec RESEARCH Integration, further demonstrating the firm's focus on sourcing efficiency. Beyond integrations, Twenty7tec has been active in product innovation, as seen when Twenty7tec Unveils Steppl Portal to Streamline Adviser-Client Engagement. The company also provides critical market intelligence; FF News recently covered their data showing that Remortgage Searches Surge 11% as UK Homeowners Navigate Shifting Mortgage Market, reflecting the current volatility in the UK lending landscape.

What this means

This renewal signals a consolidation of power in the mortgage technology sector, where long-term "sticky" contracts are becoming the standard for established players. For the wider industry, it highlights the immense pressure on smaller, legacy-heavy networks to modernize their tech stacks or risk losing advisers to more digitally-enabled competitors. The move raises questions about the future of interoperability; as networks double down on specific providers for three-year stints, the industry must consider whether this leads to closed ecosystems that could stifle smaller, innovative fintech startups. However, in a market defined by high interest rates and rapid product withdrawals, the stability of a proven platform like Twenty7tec is currently outweighing the desire for experimental tech.
