Not all IFA's have access (or inclination due to commission levels) to the whole of the market - that is why
You have been advised several times by several people to get independent advice. There is also a wealth of information on these boards as to current deals etc direct with banks
Your "great" deal you have negotiated only means something when you end up with a good mortagge dal with a company that happily agrees the property valauation and doesn't downvalue your new home by 30% due to silly sales practices by developers ramping prices
Lets also hope you don't end up with any lease issues (not sure if its a flat or not) that weren't highlighted by the poperty developers favourite solicitor as has been highlighted on these forums many times.
You may of course have none of these problems - its your choice0 -

Perhaps the charity commission should be involved.
