    We tried L&C but found a better mortgage ourselves. Although they can search the whole of market, there are still a lot of mortgages they cannot quote.

    I also spoke with another broker, and had the same experience. When we point out the one we found, that beat his best, he basically said "oh yeah, that ones better for you".

    I would advise maybe seeing what they can do, bu also looking around yourself.

    Out of interest, who did you go with?

    For those asking if x or y is 'best', you wont get an answer as the advisors cant comment on deals on this forum. The only way you will find out is it you go to a broker yourself and get them to run through some quotes.

    Thanks, unfortunately, if I read correctly, not for a remortgage deal.

    For our circumstances, Chelsea BS ended up being the best.

    Thanks, the A&L still comes out best for my personal circumstance.

    I will have to become a premier customer to squeeze that lower rate out of Mr A&L's safety deposit box, but better in my pocket.
