    No way of knowing really robwend without having the offer in front of me. They vary so much and from lender to lender.

    If it is a redemption clause specific to the selected product then in cannot simply be removed, the buyer must select a new product without such a clause.

    However as I said, impossible to say any more really.

    Sorry for not being much help.

    Dont suppose you know which lender it is?

  • What sort of 'broker' is this?

    If someone signs an agreement which includes a redemption penalty there isn't much a 'broker' can do about it apart from pray or stick pins in his/her Voodoo doll.
    If you don't know what you are talking about keep quiet

    Without sounding harsh It sounds like the broker may have cocked up here.

    Again though it's impossible to really tell, just a gut feeling

    thats my feeling too but It doesnt bode well someone like me dissing another broker.

    Do it. I would. Also see if you can get the number of his broker and call him yourself.
