Can anybody tell me if Leeds building society and Yorkshire bank are direct only companies. I am aware of HSBC and Co-op being direct only but not sure of the above

Also has anybody had any dealings with them?

    Thanks for the reply. Im guessing the deal would be better going through a broker

    Ive not checked to be honest, but i wouldnt take that for granted it could well be the other way round.

    EDIT: it may be dependent on your loan to value etc.
