Mortgage brokers poll results/discussion

missoptimist

I was advised by a fees free broker to go with a 2 year fixed deal at 6.75% in September this year. When I realised that some lenders did not use brokers I had a look at a comparison site and found a HSBC tracker at 0.79 above base rate. As the predictions at that time were all tending towards %rate decreases I went with the tracker. Currently I am paying 2.79% - 4% less than the deal suggested to me by the broker.

For once, I'm glad I didn't listen.
