90% mortgage's and meeting with advisor for 1st time

Options
Good morning all,
Hopefully be starting to apply for a mortgage this week I should be able to put down a 10% deposit and looking for a mortgage of around 55k. I've already spoken to an independent advisor over the phone at the estate agent were I seen the property I'm interested in.

He has advised me that while mortgages are available with a 10% deposit they are attracting a higher interest rate at 7% this was with the Halifax is this the case? I will be classified as a 1st time buyer

I'm meeting him face to face today what sort of questions should I be asking him?

  • HSBC also lend at 90% for 5.99% I think, but they don't use brokers
