In 2009 there was a change in ownership of Mortgage Intelligence which saw Mortgage Next join the Mortgage Intelligence Group under Mortgage Intelligence Holdings.  The alliance allows the economies of scale and more cost effective management of the businesses.  The previous owners of Mortgage Next bought Mortgage Intelligence but kept the management structure of Mortgage Intelligence to form a duel branded operation.  It was emphasised that the two brands would retain their own identity and the advantage of having the two brands would be to enable the company to widen its appeal to a much greater cross section of brokers.
