Best big broker besides London & Country

They are whole of market under FSA definitions but that definition means that they use a large selection. It doesnt mean that they have to offer true whole of market. L&C state they only use commission payers. They do not include non commission payers. You would need to see an independent adviser who is true whole of market rather than a whole of market adviser.Aren't L&C whole of market?! Well I am shocked - I thought they were?
No-one with any sense.Who is a whole of market broker then and also free!I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -

Ive worked for two of the largest firms in the UK, and have never witnessed management putting pressure on advisors to chose one lender over another, due to contract issues. Just as with the smaller firms, the so called 'big firms' rely on good service otherwise their business model fails just like anyone else.
dont normally like to rant.... but had no cereal this morning!

had people call me - after being quoted A&L ( so called exclusive ) by certain big brokerages / call centres - when Brit Bs had a massively better deal on offer ( direct- no commission) .
so an exclusive was being pushed over a better rate - to me tahts look like targets to be hit...... of course that was in the days when lenders had targets for new businessAny posts on here are for information and discussion purposes only and shouldn't be seen as (financial) advice.0
