Recommend an IFA in Brighton/Hove?

We are keen to start looking at buying again and I wondered if anyone can give me their recommendations for a good, trusted, whole of market IFA?

I don't know if it is against MSE rules to recommend one but would think not, as so many companies and services are recommended on these boards, which really helps sift through companies that are not worth it :T

We are first time buyers and deposit ready, both working full time so hoping to get a decent deal in the current market.

    Thanks Fb - a very thought provoking thread indeed. I just wanted to clarify that we just want to talk to an IFA to get an idea of what our affordability would be, so that we can establish whether we need to keep saving, or could leave our tiny rented flat.

    Whatever place we buy will be our home for a good 5 years, we want to buy a 2 bed with some outside space, at reasonable price, on the outskirts of Brighton probably due to prices. However, I am also aware of the extra cost of commuting/car/petrol if we do that, so we would have to weigh up the pros and cons of moving outside the town.

    Maybe calling London & Country would be best so we can get an idea of what we could borrow, unless someone can recommend a trustworthy IFA to just give us an idea...
