  • Andy,

    I am a fee charging WoM Mortgage broker.
    I now no longer give information and opinion within the Mortgage boards, because a number of posters who, having approached me professionally, agreed my fee-which has been been made very clear at the outset, taken my advice (normally cancelling a [home visit] meeting at short notice) have then approached one of the fee-free brokers on here to arrange the very same deal I have advised.
    Whilst I totally concur with the ethos of "money saving"- abusing the goodwill of a professional who provides a quality service is taking it too far! :mad:

    Cheers Herbie

    Got it and have registered. Cannot guarantee that I can go, especially with 2 days out later in the month for Expo but will try my best.

    Would be good to meet all you guys and have a good beer-up in Manchester over the Expo 2 days.

  • I am planning on going- need to check out a crash pad for the night- any ideas of places that will be ok?
