Exhibit A
Mortgage Brokers work in Durham
Durham is a small city with a large student and university population, and the mortgage work that comes out of it follows the housing around it. The city centre and the streets around the university are dominated by terraced housing and flats that change hands often, while the villages and newer estates on the edges carry the family homes. Mortgage broking in Durham is mostly small firms and sole advisers rather than national franchises, and the searches reflect that: people look for a broker near them, for help with a first mortgage, and for advice on buying in a particular part of the city. The demand is steady rather than huge, which means the pages that answer local questions well can hold their place.
