    You cant get a refund of trail commission on any product. However, there is no trail commission on mortgages.

    Typically, the procuration fee on a standard residential mortgage via a High Street lender is 0.3%. This is a one-off paid at completion. Lenders don't pay us anything else.

    Even if there was trail commission on what grounds would you think you are entitled to a refund?

    Probably the same reason they are going to attempt a refund from their weekly shopping bill to Lidl or whoever.

    I hope the OP does responds as I can't wait for a dose of warped logic!
