    They are deals brokers can offer

    I cant comment on why they have not been put to you, as I dont know anything about your circumstances - i.e. eligibility may be an issue

    Your broker has all your information to hand and I doubt you would want to post all your information on an open board

    Did you see my post above, replying to your questions? I don't understand why we wouldn't be eligible, we aren't anything out of the ordinary and have saved up a good deposit.

    Like I said

    Without knowing your details, I couldnt even guess at why no other lenders have been put to you, or if eligibility plays a part in this

    There are defintely plenty to choose from

    Is your broker whole of market? Are you paying them a fee?

    The RBS group, Directline, RBS, Natwest are all offering 10% deposit mortgages. I haven't look at these deals in great detail so am unable to comment on whether they are competitive!

    Hi,

    Yes, he is whole of market, and no fee. I have found a Natwest mortgage for 10%, and asked him about it - he seems to thinnk lots of offers are not coming through brokers anymore. I don't know what to think, as there seems to be a lot out there for 10%.

    I thought using a broker would mean I wouldn't have to search so much for myself, but it seems I can't rely on him as I'd like.

    It doesn't sound like the guy you are using is doing you any favours

    Sounds like you need a second opinion

    Find yourself another fee free whole of market mortgage adviser and see what they can come up with.

    I would definitely get your skates on though, who knows how many 90% lenders there will be in the future

    I have just had to go to my mortgage company to get my offer extended as things haven't completed in time and they will extend but on the proviso that my deposit is doubled as my original product is no longer available. Ouch!

    Who is to say what is competitive when there is next to no competition.....


    I recently arranged a 90% deal with RBS. 5yr fixed 6.79% £999 fee.

    Is that "competitive"? Since it was the only product available to the client, I would say it was as it had no competition. It all comes down to what someone is willing to pay to get the product they need.

    And that rate has now gone as well
