Is your financial situation 'special' at all? or fairly regular?Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0

If you go to an independent whole of market broker, they should be able to check the widest possible range of mortgages for you.
No need to shop around - and you risk a) getting confused, and b) too many credit searches on your record as each adviser does their own.0 -
No such thing yorkie.
Its either Independent OR Whole of Market - theyre not the same.
I would say find someone your happy with, your going to go through a month or 2 with them, you want someone your comfortable with and can get along with. That might be the first person you see, it might not be. All i would say is avoid any broker at the estate agents - theyre likely to be a little biased as their business comes from the estate agents.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.
