Morgage Advice form L&C

Has anybody had dealings with L&C and then been transferred to a Simon Conn, should I be worried by his name or is this a genuine adviser?

    I don't think it is fair to identify an individual working for a company on a public website like this. Especially with such a silly question.
    I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.
  • For your information he does not work For L&C, L&C has been recommended by this website who have then passed my contact details to him. Before I start sending all my details to a third party not recommended by Mr Lewis I thought I would ask the forum if anybody had the same issue in the past. Silly question, NO I don't think so. I just DO NOT want to be ripped off!

    He is a genuine individual, don't be put off by the name!

    He was MD of a company called Conti previously who specialise in overseas mortgages but left there in 2009 to pursue other avenues. Not sure what he is doing now, so couldn't comment on whether to deal with him or not.

    Perhaps you might ask L&C why they have made this referral and what exactly Simon's role might be in the process.

    He is based in Hove and still works in the same mortgage broking/related areas.

    Was there something out of the ordinary about your request to L&C?
