The survey has already garnered a record level of responses, and the seven-day extension will allow the organisation to better understand the wellbeing, working lives and mental health of professionals.
The 500 Voices Survey will close to responses on Friday 21 August.
The survey is in its fifth year and will form the basis of the 2026 MIMHC White Paper. It will also be used to inform the charter’s priorities and actions for 2027.
This year’s survey is being supported by Pepper Money, which has pledged to contribute £2 to the MIMHC for every completed response.
Jason Berry, co-founder of the MIMHC, said: “The response to 500 Voices has been incredibly encouraging and to deliver a record number of responses in our fifth year is exactly what our team wanted. Rather than close the door when there is clearly still momentum, the decision was made earlier this week to give the industry one final week to have its say.

“This isn’t about chasing a number for the sake of it. The more people we hear from, the more representative and powerful the evidence becomes. We want to understand where things are improving, where pressures remain and, crucially, what our industry can collectively do about them.”
Berry added: “Behind every response is a person and a real experience of working within our industry. Our responsibility is to listen to those experiences and then turn the insight into meaningful action.
“I’d therefore encourage every mortgage professional who hasn’t yet participated to give us a few minutes of their time before Friday 21st. I’d also ask our MIMHC signatories and supporters to give the survey one final push across their organisations and networks.”
The findings will be used to identify challenges faced by professionals in the sector and shape future initiatives, conversations and commitments across the industry.
Berry added: “We have always believed that better evidence should lead to better conversations, and better conversations must ultimately lead to better action.
“500 Voices gives us an opportunity to listen at scale. We now have seven more days to make that collective voice as strong as possible.”
