Cluster analysis makes for a sophisticated reading of the mortgage market and the consumer. Trends in the market are clearly shown to orientate around the actions of four consumer groups - labeled 'Loyalist', 'Mover', 'Adjuster' and 'Mover and Shaker' - delineated through sophisticated cross analysis and the excavation of behavioural typologies.

Recent and established retail and reconnaissance channels are also explored, outlining the process by which the digitially empowered consumer researches, tailors and opts for apposite mortgage policies. In addition to the prospective consumer, policy holder/provider interaction is mined for opinion amongst the satisfied and disgruntled alike. Simply put: are consumer desires being thwarted and, if so, where?

Staying with the existing account holder, the report features an exposition of dominant trends in the 'mortgage life-cycle'. By creating a backdrop outlining the average age of current policies held, remortgage rates and reasons for making a change, a correlation is made between the behaviour of key groups and the likelihood of remortgaging.
