    A broker charging a fee should not be seen as a negative (esp in a non-standard situation) - remember you are paying for the brokers experience/ professional competency, and for their guidance in what can be a confusing and sometimes complex maze of products, meeting lender criteria etc, and assitance in getting the mge through to completion.


    Hope this helps & good luck ;)

    As the OP has no earnings, I'm pretty sure the recommended lender is TMW and I'm not sure there are any other options.

    I also was not aware the other thread was discussing a BTL proposition. I'd have suggested TMW myself, if I'd known.

    I'd find another broker. £950 + the commission from the lender is a bit OTT for a simple BTL.

    Had an interesting conversation 2 weeks ago at a FSA seminar with a member of its staff about FSA stance on social media, and also client responsibility.
