Hello, first time buyer here in scotland, just this week been to a few banks and 2 mortgage brokers.

one is the Alex Hutcheon Company and other is First Mortgage both in aberdeen.
also anyone with some advice on first mortgage would be much appricated
Cheers Matt

Not really fair for people to comment on individuals on an open forum, you never know if they have an ulterior motive.
Ultimately, you should go with the one you were most comfortable with.I am a mortgage adviser.You should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it. This signature is here as I follow MSE's Mortgage Adviser Code of Conduct. Any posts on here are for information and discussion purposes only and shouldn't be seen as financial advice.0 -
I too am looking at brokers vs banks, I have asked for recommendations from family/friends but as wh05apk says, go with who you feel most comfortable with.Here to offer help and advice, and maybe take a little in return.
Whilst I am happy to share my knowledge, I am in no way a professional... I can not therefore accept responsibility for inaccurate info, I ask that you take professional advice rather than rely totally the info provided by myself :beer:0
