Mortgage works

Does anyone know anything about them, have their mortgage with them, am looking at a deal with them but have never heard of them, all i know is they are a part of Nationwide.

Anybody, good, bad or indifferent...

    Nobody has anything good, bad or indifferent to say, hmmm doesn't fill me with confidence about them then....
  • Broker only - have put a few mortgages through with them and never had a problem (am quite a fan of Nationwide as well to be honest).

    It is a complete mystery why you want to ask a bunch of strangers on an internet site, whose qualifications/experience you have no idea of (you can include me in that description), on a Sunday night their opinion rather than the broker whose qualifications/experience you presumably do know and speak to directly.

  • I too am looking at Mortgage Works for a BTL mortgage. I was dubious at first too but i'm gonna give their direct service a ring tomorrow to discuss options. They tend to deal a lot with mortgage advisors and it is part of nationwide, so cant be that bad!

    Why were you dubious and why would you rather deal direct than go through a broker?

    Beware of the fees for TMW. May be better deals out there.

    Obviously the broker has advised me and says they are good and quick, which is what i need, but its always good to get a few more opinions if possible.

    I'm obviously not going to take anything said on here as gospel, just wondered if anyone had dealt with them and what their experiences were.

    I thought they were BTL specialists, but perhaps not.
    What is the deal on offer?

    We took out a BTL mortgage with them a few years ago. All very straightforward, no problems.
  • They have obscenely high fees from the BTL products I have looked at.
