Ive worked in the mortgage biz and telecoms biz and I avoid arrangement fees and connections fees as they are unnecessary - and you can usually negotiate them away.
for mortgages follow martins advice & use london & country as they dont have an arrangement fee - not sure about commercial
same with telecoms - state your looking at a few other deals and they will knock the connection fees on the head
Gnever take advice from broke or unsuccessful people

The arrangement fees would still be payable regardless of which broker firm used. This is because the fees are charged in this case by the Lender not a broker fee. No broker can change the fees charged by a lender.
My advice is to use a specialist commercial mortgage broker. The T&C's are different for commercial mortgages as they are currently not regulated by the FSA. Most residential mortgage brokers will have very limited access to commercial lending and will represent maybe one or two companies.
