Not Sure if I can but....

Options
I've applied for a mortgage through an IFA, it is with the Halifax at 4.69% which I am quite happy with, I signed the application form with the IFA and she said it was successful pending valuation, then we will receive a formal mortgage offer.

I have since got home and noticed if I had gone direct to the Halifax the rate I possibly could have got is 4.09% this is based on an 85% LTV. Since I've signed the forms with the IFA and its 'progressing' is there anything I can do??

I think the answer will be no, but just wondered if anybody knew for sure.

TIA

    If you had employed the IFA on an Independent basis he would have directed you to the Halifax Direct product.

    Its a little late to dao anything now, unless you want to cancel the application and start all over again, which I wouldnt recommend
