Mortgage Broker sought/recommended MEGATHREAD


Recommended Posts

People also need to be careful of using the comparison websites because when you give them all your details they actually do a credit search on you, now doing lots of these can have a negative effect on your credit score. A colleague of mine had a client looking to buy at 90% she had the mortgage agreed in principle and then went searching on one of the comparison websites, when she went back to apply for the 90% mortgage the maximum she could have was now 85% because of all the recent searches on her credit file.

 

As some people have already pointed out sometimes banks do offer better direct rates but when you actually get there you can't get the rate and if you can't get the mortgage you can actually end up missing out on the home you had found. Also it's worth noting that the lenders are now really backing the intermediary market, companies such as Accord, Abbey, Nationwide & Halifax offer exclusive products to certain brokers.

 

Find a broker you like and stick with them, that's my advice.

 

Regarding fee charging well I always say to my clients you get what you pay for.

I am in need of discussing some mortgage options with someone that specialises or has good knowledge of the Right To Buy scheme.

 

Any ideas?

 

I have done a few right to buy mortgages but I wouldn't say I am a specialist in this area but feel free to drop me a PM and I will try to find out or help. I work for one of the largest brokers in the country with over 600 advisors (part of Mortgage Talk as mentioned above) so I am sure I will be able to find the answers you need.

i have just used Which mortgage advisory service, they do it free unless you use them to sort the mortgage out, and then they charge you 100 pounds.

 

i used them because,well its which? that run it and i trust they have the consumers interest at heart and know their stuff..

 

google which mortgage advisers and call them for a chat.. its free.

 

thanks
