L&C is deemed big enough to cope with the demand this site could generate.I am a mortgage broker.

10 days to find a good deal... hes either too busy or waiting for something that does not exist.
This is the whole issue with fee free, its the mcdonalds method of pile them high and sell them cheap. The problem is with mortgages its a 2-3 month process and you do not want to be at the bottom of a pile.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.

Just got a call back from L&C useless Sh*** :mad:, 10 days one proposal and even then they won't give me the amount i need when they had all my details since 30th June. I have asked they send me a confirm email that my PAYE slips data is destroyed and not passed to third parties..
Can anyone here recommend me a broker or another to go to i am running out of time and patience now after L&C debacle
My case is Remortgaging my Freehold property to buy another. My 1st property will be kept within my family for my sister to livin rent free.. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/49966460 -
Didn't comment previously as have commented on L&C on other threads. Essentially there is a place for a fee free option and the site promotes on both the free option and they "sponsor" parts of the site.
There is much made of their perceived capacity, however looking at the amount of recent posts it would appear they are not dealing well with the influx of enquiries/applications. There internal Agreement In Principle is a bit lazy at best and reckless at worst.
This was never going to be an L&C case though, as based upon the parameters outlined there is a limited pool of lenders that will like this sort of situation and this could be eroded further depending upon the detail of your circumstances.I am a Mortgage Broker
