Looking for a mortgage

Hey everyone,

I've found a great flat with my girlfriend and our offer was accepted on Thursday! :j Now the issue we have is trying to find the right mortgage with the right lender which isnt easy with just a 10% deposit. I still have some brokers to talk to (including London & Country) but I wanted to find out what people thought of the lenders I have so far found - Nationwide and C&G (although the Nationwide one is the best one at the mo). Are people's experience of these lenders good? I want to choose a lender which will deal with the mortgage application quickly unlike some like Abbey which seem to drag out the process... Abbey Mortgages Thread

Any help appreciated.

Thanks, Peter

    I'm with Nationwide. The process of getting a mortgage was pretty quick for me.

    Good to hear - how long did it take for it to be approved Ditto?
