applied for a nationwide mortgage a few weeks ago after being recommended to by L&C
anyhow not going go into details got the offer but was 2.5K under what i needed , got a phone call from L&C saying blah its short would i like to make up the 2 and half
was told by L&C that i had no other options its nationwide or nothing
anyhow rung them not returned calls completely blanked me , really poor service not even any kind of explanation as to why my affordability has not been met by the underwriter . I Have 6k in an ISA which i could of used or paid my wifes loan off
anyhow went into Halifax last week just got the offer today only 0.2 higher than the nationwide deal .
just wished Id gone to Halifax 1st time tbh and not wasted 99 quid and a extra search on experian..
really disappointing of L&C with all the hype they get

Fees free brokers have a lot less time to spend per case.
As ever, free / cheap things aren;t always best.
Glad you got it sorted direct. I'm at pains to point out no one needs a broker if they have a straight forward case.0
