Mortgage advice for Ltd company director?

We do mortgages for contractors all the time, for our little £249 fee.
Some of our clients have been quoted well over £1,000 by "contractor specialists" for the same Halifax mortgage and they seem surprised when this little provincial Midlands broker can do the same deal for so much less.I am a mortgage broker.

Thats why i said do they have to put up with a brummie accent if they dont get you.
Pay £250 and you might get a manc but you might get stuck with a brummie. Or if your not around and a receptionist/administrator answers and theyre stuck with someone off the hotel advert allllroit cupcake!

Thanks for all the advice guys – much appreciated. Just had an additional question.
We've been talking with a broker who looks to have got us an AIP, however he seems to be struggling...
Although I have been a director for 2 years now, our business year runs from July-July. It appears that lenders will only consider 2 complete years (signed & submitted) accounts vs. 2 years worth of accounts. Is that correct?0 -
If they have an AIP they should be checking the criteria prior to applting for it, not after.
As has been said in the thread some lenders will accept 1 year. Which lender is the AIP with?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.
