Just a question out of curiosity - I've seen this site advertising on Google... does anyone here know anything about them, as they seem to be claiming to be able to get even folk with poor credit ratings a good mortgage. Ther emuct be a catch somewhere surely if most people are struggling to get a good deal at the moment. Their website shows an example of a £200,000 mortgage "FROM" £789 a month. Now given my current NR deal is £168,000 at 5.49% fixed 5 years ago was costing £1059 a month - how on earth do they get those figures? Is it something llike a 40 or 50 year mortgage? Just doesn't seem possible to me

that works out at 4.73%.
If they can do that for people with credit problems, I dread to think what they can offer a squeaky clean client :eek: :rolleyes:I am a Mortgage adviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

I agree, You get 'nowt for nowt' in this world.
There is a catch they will probably ask you to put a fair amount down for your deposit.
I knew of one company who used to take (backhanders) of about 3,000 to get you a mortgage not a legitimate one but a mortgage.
One broker had friends in different companies who would take a (backhander)
And these were people at high st banks etc.
So my answer is be careful, They may get you a mortgage but it would cost you money.

Yes, I know brokers involved in these murky areas too.
The bit I could never get my head round is why a broker would risk prison for £3000 ?
Broker I know went to jail for six months for mortgage fraud.
He's now out again, doing exactly the same thing, but in someone elses' name :eek:I am a Mortgage adviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
