Who can join

Full membership of the CML is open to lender organisations that are authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

The CML also welcomes applications for associate membership, which is open to organisations that have an interest in the mortgage market but who do not actually lend money themselves. Our associates come from a variety of industries - lawyers, conveyancing firms, management consultants, technology companies, etc. Associates receive to all intents and purposes the same information, services and benefits as our members.

Subscription charges

Member subscriptions are charged annually on a scale based on their residential mortgage assets or mortgage assets under administration (whichever is higher) as at the 31 December the previous year.

The annual subscription for associates is levied from 1 January to 31 December and is currently £6,295 plus a one-off joining fee of £1,525. The subscription is charged on a pro-rata basis for applications approved after January.

For more information on how your organisation can become a member or associate, please fill in your details below and we will send you an application pack.


Please note: If you already work for a member or associate organisation and want to register for member content and alerts you do not need to fill in this form.
