About us
You shouldn’t have to go through hell to buy a home. We’re here to make it simple.
Habito sorts your whole mortgage for you, from start to finish.
We’re the UK’s largest online mortgage broker. We guide you through the whole process, all the way to getting the keys or remortgaging. And because we're paid by lenders, it's free.

We’re more than a comparison site
A comparison site shows you lots of deals, but doesn’t tell you if you can actually get them, and leaves you to apply by yourself. We both find and get your mortgage, and guide you all the way to getting the keys.
We’re better than your bank
A bank only shows you its own mortgage deals, which might not be the cheapest. We search the whole market: 20,000+ mortgages from 90+ lenders, to find you the best possible deal.
We’re a new kind of broker
A traditional broker makes you wait for an appointment, and usually charges up to £500. We’re 100% free, because we’re paid by lenders, and 100% online, so you can chat to us when it suits you. Get your mortgage from bed, if you want.
Apply for and track your mortgage, all in one place
Your Habito dashboard is your one-stop mortgage hub. Chat to your expert, upload supporting documents, and watch the progress of your application – in one spot. No diary stress, no piles of paperwork.
With Habito, you get a team of experts who work for you
Your mortgage expert
Once you’ve told us the basics, you’ll get your own mortgage expert, who’s there to find you the best deal possible. They’ll listen to what you need, and help you make sense of the thousands of options out there.

Your case manager
When you’re ready to apply, a case manager takes your application to the finish line. They’ll chase the bank for updates, answer their follow-ups, and generally fight your corner, keeping you in the loop the whole way.

“If you ask my mum what I do, she’d have absolutely no idea! She knows what a mortgage is, and knows that I do something to make them happen for people… that’s about as far as it goes.”

Back in 2016, we created Habito to end mortgage hell forever. No more paperwork, jargon or misinformation. No more stress. It all started when our founder Dan tried to buy a house… and it all went a bit wrong.
