Mortgage application through Halifax

We applied for a mortgage with Halifax through our estate agents mortgage adviser (couldn't get a mortgage when looking on our own)

She found us a mortgage with Halifax who I already bank with. This mortgage has been approved subject to valuation (which is tomorrow), my question is, as we have gone through a mortgage adviser, is there a chance we can still get the first time buyer offers which they advertise? I think it is a £500 prepaid MasterCard according to their website.
Thanks in advance :j

    You are getting your lending through using a broker (which was not happening when you went direct).

    Broker products are a different range from direct products.

    I am sure your broker has recommended the best product available.
