Romsey-based mortgage broker, The Mortgage Stop, run by husband and wife team, Rohit and Rita Kohli, have joined New Leaf Distribution to take their business to the next level.
After five years with Stonebridge, the Kohlis say becoming an appointed representative of New Leaf will enable them to provide a more comprehensive service to both existing and new clients.
Under New Leaf, they will be able to offer a wider range of mortgage options, have access to specialist lending like bridging and secured loans, be empowered to offer full financial advice beyond just mortgages — and be able to provide a more flexible, advice-led approach tailored to real-life complexity.
Rohit Kohli, Director, The Mortgage Stop, commented:
“After five strong years with Stonebridge, we felt it was time to take the next step. As our business has grown, so have the needs and complexity of our clients’ circumstances. We wanted a network that could support us in offering a wider range of lending and protection options - not just the standard cases, but the ones that need a more tailored approach. From the moment we walked through the doors of New Leaf’s Essex head office — where the sign says ‘where everybody knows your name’ — they certainly did. We felt welcome from day one. The onboarding experience so far has been excellent, and if that’s the standard, we know we’ve made the right choice. What stood out about New Leaf was the values they share with our own business. Like us, it’s a family-run firm focused on quality advice rather than chasing scale at any cost. It offers the support, flexibility and stability we were looking for.”
Rita Kohli, Managing Director, The Mortgage Stop, added:
“I’m really excited about this next phase of our journey. From launching the business in the first week of the COVID pandemic to where we are today, it’s taken a huge amount of hard work — but we’ve grown steadily and built something that we’re really proud of. Now, as we expand into a broader range of financial services for our clients, our new relationship with New Leaf gives us the platform to go further. We’re looking forward to a long and successful partnership.”
Daniel Hobbs, CEO, New Leaf Distribution, commented:
“It’s fantastic to have The Mortgage Stop onboard, as they are the perfect fit for a network like ours. We’re looking forward to helping them really grow their business, cater to more complex clients and diversify into wider financial advice, something that more and more brokers are now doing through New Leaf.”
