Really confused - trying to find a Right to Buy Mortgage

Hello

Im am trying to find a good, reasonable Right to Buy mortgage. I have a 60% discount and would be looking for a 15 year fixed repayment of around £50K. I have a strong income that will easily cover the repayments.

However, trying to identify the banks/bldy socs that *do* RTB mortgages is proving more difficult than I ever imagined.

Im finding lots of brokers, presenting themselves online as advisors ... but all of them are giving indicative rates and not declairing the banks/bldg socs.

I must have read every guide to RTB process I can get my hands on but no where has it said that I will struggle to identify a lender.

Is there a secret rule which says I can only apply for a RTB mortgage in person an on a paper application? Nowhere has offered me an online application process. :-(

If anyone could give me any advice on the safe steps to finding a reasonable (and credible) RTB lender, I'd be really grateful. Any other advice thrown in would be welcomed too.

Thank you for listening!!!

    Why not see a broker face to face?

    There are independent mortgage brokers working wholly online that could help you with this - I know because we are one.
