    Such conduct would simply make me more resolved. I'd put notes through the doors of their vendors telling them you would have been interested in their property but have been put off by the agent's insistence that you must have a mortgage arranged by the agent.

    Countrywide again?

    Limited panel - not whole market
    Charge a fee
    One insurance tie
    Expensive conveyancing
    Get survey business from their lender panel.

    Best avoided.


    nope its not CW

    is there any way i can call up ABBEY and ask if theres any application in my name

    Ok.

    The issue is one of compunction, not the service offered, although it did sound remarkably like the firm I mentioned which is the biggest in the UK.

    By telling an estate agency mortgage adviser your thoughts, you might as well be telling the vendor.
