    What did the adviser from MB1 say about fees? they are required to disclose how they are remunerated as part of any initial disclosure.

    He stated he was salaried and didn't receive commission.

    The stuff they have put about the FCA wishing "mortgage advisors to actively take responsibility for the management of a client’s mortgage until it is repaid rather than just arranging a one off mortgage and abdicating future responsibility." is just rubbish.

    I would follow the advice from the people above and keep clear of them.
    It looks like I will follow that advice

    You are between high charging brokers and a fee free service. You need to get good service and decent value. Potential for nether with the 2 brokers you have engaged.[/QUOTE]

    How come MSE champions L&C if they are hit and miss?

    Because they can handle the volume generated. There may also be commercial incentives.


    There are plenty of threads oh here about poor service although to be fair people tend to complain more than praise.

    The next thing you will be saying this whole site is a commercial enterprise Mark!

    It's not like it is Moneysupermarket.
