Mortgage Brokers in and around Coventry

Hi,
I've been lurking on this site for a while now as me and the missus are looking to buy a house.
Can anyone recommend a mortgage broker in the area. I've googled it some and obviously a lot come up, but if anyone has 1st hand experience that would be great.
At this point I'm still wondering if I need to get the services of one, but obvioulsy they can point me in the direction that I may have missed, using the usual suspects to compare them all.
The LTV I would hope would be somewhere in the region of 75%, which should hopefully open up a certain level of mortgage with a lot of vendors. Then the questions begin after that... long term overpaying, short term fixed, offset and the list goes on as it does for everyone
Its a minefield..

Make sure to ask if they research direct deals, and what fee they will charge you.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

I certainly will when I start calling them up, having come across this gem already.

I've used them a number of times and have been really impressed by them in the past - both me, my wife and close friends have all used them before, and think they're impartial and very professional.
