Some might agree,all banks sell uncompetitive associated products,but they might have a super deal it is up to us to pick and mix,the same goes for those who sell mortgages take what you want leave the rest,freedom of choice and the full facts.:money:

Who hates mortgage advisers trying to sell them insurance?
I am interested to hear what you think.


Of those who have been subjected to pressure insurance sales tactics, when all you went in for was mortgage advice, how did this feel?:rolleyes:

Kenshaz you have still not answered my questions, why the personal attacks on ME? come on, lets have your reasons. I want to know WHY YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH ME PERSONALLY and what I have done, either to YOU or other FORUM USERS to make you take issue with me and attack everything I say without reason. Now stop posting links to articles. I want to hear it in YOUR OWN WORDS - WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?

Please be nice to all MoneySavers. There’s no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps. Don’t post links for personal gain. Except in the referrers section and always declare any interest.

The OP has done exactly what he was advised to do on this forum - see a broker with a view to possibly approaching the Abbey.

And duly, he has got what he wanted, like so many others.

Memory can play tricks on you at times, that's for sure.

Nice one ED - an admission at last that using expert is better than the DIY route.;)

The original post's question is answered here
It’s an open forum! Anyone can post so always exercise caution when acting on info.

Actually, if you read the original thread, you'll see that the two key pieces of info - that Nationwide would not accept the OP, but that Abbey might - were first offered by ordinary MSE posters. They were subsequently backed up by the opinion of the various brokers.

I doubt that anyone on the board would be so arrogant as to claim that brokers have a monopoly on financial information - or indeed that they are always right.

Indeed !

Tried to do it himself, pointed in right direction by an "ordinary?" poster and then sorted out by a professional.

Why didnt you advise a low cost DIY mortgage with Hargreaves Lansdown? Im not sure if they have one BTW, not having a monopoly on financial information:rotfl:

PS all "ordinary" posters feel free to thank ED for making me aware of your existence , I thought we were all the same on this forum.

What exactly is an ordinary poster? whiteflag are you an ordinary poster or are you special?
When did Martin introduce a hierarchy ,is it similar to having aristocracy and the feudal system.
