Hi,
I am fully CeMAP qualified and am thinking of joining a network. The thing is im confused as to which network i should join. I am looking for a network which will provide the whole of market so if a client asks me "can you approach any lender in the uk at this moment?" i would like to be able to say "yes". If anyone knows any good networks that i can join as an appointed representative then please do let me know! Cheers.

it really depends on what you are looking for from your network - I would definitely find one that lets you use any lender though.

Networks are not all the same. Some are hands off and let you run your own business but give you support on compliance. Others are hands on, and in my view, overpowering and acting almost like a salesforce in disguise.
Make sure you make the decision right first time as it can be costly to switch networks at a later date.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

What is your experience MRDC? Are you new to the industry are you new to advising or is advising old hat to you? I have said it in the past and will give people the benefit of my mistake - do not go self employed or join a network if you have no client base or experience because even with a lot of support you will struggle.
If you have a client base and the experience then I would refer you to a broker site that has a lot of reports on the different networks which will allow you to look at them with comparables. That said, you can't beat speaking to people who are in these networks before making your decision.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
