Case preparation systems for mortgage firms

Case preparation infrastructure, built around your firm.

CaseHarbour designs and builds dedicated case preparation systems for mortgage firms. We map the way your team already works, then create a tailored environment that brings meetings, documents, follow-ups and case preparation into one structured workflow.

The operational problem

Case preparation gets complicated before the case even reaches submission.

Mortgage firms often prepare cases across a mixture of systems, documents, emails and manual checks. CaseHarbour starts by understanding that process before designing the system around it.

Preparation still happens manually

Meetings, notes and documents still need to be turned into structured casework before the case can progress.

Information sits across different places

Important case details can be spread across emails, notes, documents, CRM records and internal processes.

Outstanding information appears too late

Missing evidence and incomplete client information are harder to spot when preparation is fragmented.

The goal is not to force every firm into the same process. It is to build a cleaner preparation environment around the process the firm actually needs.

What we can build

One preparation system can connect far more of the case than a single workflow.

These are example capabilities rather than a fixed package. Each CaseHarbour implementation can combine, adapt or extend functionality around the firm.

Firm-specific workflows

Stages, terminology and handoffs shaped around your operating model.

Meeting & case preparation

Meeting setup, notes, transcripts and preparation in one environment.

Document handling

Case-linked evidence, status tracking and outstanding-item visibility.

Document analysis

Clearly stated information surfaced from evidence for adviser review.

Draft fact-find preparation

Editable draft content prepared from information already held in the case.

Case overview

A current view of case status, evidence and outstanding actions.

Follow-ups & communication

Document requests and client follow-ups prepared from the active case.

Illustrations & handoff

Structured illustration records and CRM-ready reviewed outputs.

Team access

A dedicated company environment with roles and shared case access.

The capabilities shown are examples, not the limit of a CaseHarbour implementation.

Discuss your workflow

How we work

From your existing process to your own CaseHarbour system.

Every engagement starts with understanding how the firm currently works.

01

Understand

We review how cases move through your firm and where preparation becomes inefficient.

02

Design

We define the workflow, information structure, permissions and outputs your system needs.

03

Build

Your dedicated CaseHarbour environment is configured and developed around that specification.

04

Implement

The system is tested, refined with your team and introduced into the live preparation process.

Built around the firm

The result is not a generic CaseHarbour account.

It is a dedicated environment configured around your firm's terminology, case stages, documents, controls, team structure and outputs.

Example implementation

This interactive example shows selected parts of one CaseHarbour implementation — from meeting setup and document handling through to case overview, fact-find preparation, tracking, illustrations and export.

This is deliberately not the full system.

A live implementation can include additional workflows, fields, controls, permissions, templates, integrations and firm-specific functionality beyond what is practical to demonstrate here.

Adviser review required: CaseHarbour prepares administrative drafts only. It does not provide mortgage advice, recommend products, assess suitability or make lending decisions.

This walkthrough shows selected capabilities only. A full CaseHarbour implementation can extend beyond the areas shown here and is configured around each firm's own workflow, controls and technology.
Discuss your workflow

Governance & control

Technology should support professional judgement, not replace it.

A CaseHarbour implementation can organise information and prepare administrative outputs while review, judgement and approval remain with the firm.

Adviser review stays central

Prepared outputs remain subject to adviser checking and approval before use.

Preparation, not regulated advice

The system supports case preparation without determining suitability or making lending decisions.

Firm-specific access controls

Workspace structure, users and permissions can be configured around the organisation.

Visible review points

Outstanding actions and adviser review requirements can remain visible as the case progresses.

Implementation review

Access structure, permissions, data handling requirements and wider technology considerations can be reviewed during implementation.

Regulatory boundary

CaseHarbour supports administrative preparation. It does not provide mortgage advice, recommend products, assess suitability or make lending decisions.

Bespoke implementation

There is no off-the-shelf CaseHarbour plan.

Every project is scoped around the firm's workflow, team, functionality and technology requirements.

The first conversation is about how your firm operates today and what a better case preparation process would need to look like.

Pricing follows the scope of the implementation.

Team size, workflow complexity, required functionality, integrations and implementation support can all affect the project.

Frequently asked questions

What to expect from a CaseHarbour implementation.

CaseHarbour is not a fixed subscription product. The system is scoped, designed and implemented around the needs of each mortgage firm.

Adviser-controlled case preparation

The system can support preparation and review without replacing regulated advice or professional judgement.

Book a consultation

CaseHarbour designs and builds dedicated case preparation systems for mortgage firms. Rather than offering one fixed software product, we work around the way each firm handles clients, meetings, documents, follow-ups, fact-find preparation and case handoff.

Yes. Each implementation is shaped around the firm's own process. Workflows, terminology, case stages, fields, document requirements, permissions, outputs and other functionality can be configured to suit the way that team operates.

The first conversation is used to understand how your firm currently prepares cases, which systems your team already uses, where information is captured and which parts of the workflow create unnecessary administration or inconsistency.

Depending on the firm's requirements, an implementation can include client and case management, meeting preparation and capture, document tracking and analysis, case overviews, draft fact-find preparation, missing-information checks, follow-ups, illustration workflows, team permissions and CRM-ready outputs.

Not necessarily. CaseHarbour can sit alongside an existing CRM as the case preparation layer, helping the team organise and prepare cleaner information before handoff. The wider technology setup and any required integrations are discussed during implementation.

No. CaseHarbour supports administrative case preparation. It does not recommend mortgage products, assess suitability, provide regulated mortgage advice or make lending decisions. Adviser review and professional judgement remain part of the firm's process.

Yes. The purpose of a bespoke implementation is to avoid forcing the firm into a generic software workflow. Case stages, labels, document requirements, internal handoffs, templates and outputs can be designed around the firm's existing operating model.

There is no public off-the-shelf price list because each implementation can have a different scope. Pricing is provided after the initial consultation and depends on factors such as workflow complexity, functionality, team requirements, integrations and implementation support.

Every implementation is scoped around the firm's requirements before build and rollout.
