IFA causing us headaches over mortgage

thanks for that magpie, it looks as though effectively then we wait while the adviser returns from holiday on Tuesday, see what he has done exactly, get him to speak to the solicitor (who is insisting on speaking to him to find out what he has done) and lender (to explain the true situation) If it transpires from that that we still have our mortgage all well and good, if it turns out we haven't because of his false application (potentially) it seems our best move is then to seek the advice of a truly independent full market mortgage advisor. Tell them exactly where we're at, what we need to complet and see what they can pull out of the fire for us at sort notice

Kieron, in answer your questions (from Forum Rules) ...

Mortgage Advisers should not tout for business on the boards or in PMs. There should be no posts or unsolicited PMs offering mortgage adviser services. Nor should advisers ever say ‘see my profile for who I work for’ or make any other such comment.

However if a user requests their service either via PM or forum post then I have no objection to that and the business generated. Yet if someone requests the service by a post on the board, the broker should simply post to say “I will PM you” rather than posting details there.

Any mortgage adviser found to be flouting this ‘no touting’ rule will potentially lose their rights to post on the forum (PPR). This applies whether the adviser is using a signature or not.
