    Next week! good god (sorry I know it seems I'm going OTT but I'd lose business if I worked at that pace!)

    If you add those extortionate fees to your mortgage, then you will be paying interest on them for the term of your mortgage unfortunately. Seriously, you dont need to pay a massive fee like that, if it was a couple of hundred quid I wouldnt feel so strongly,but £1295 added to loan? AND they keep the commission on a £100k mortgage. quackers.

    There are plenty of brokers who will do this for commission only and don't believe the hype about them being commission biased or pushing ancillary products I assure you it doesn't happen (well not in my practice anyway)

    Now I'm becoming suspicious.

    Do you have the money to pay the fees or are they just assuming that you want to put this on the loan?

    Where are are you MortgageMamma?

    Come on, side by side.
