L&C's own Mortgages

Options
Has anyone used the brokers L&C own mortgages? They have a 2 year discounted 2.35% at 85% ltv. Was interested to hear from others, I can't find any reviews on their actual mortgage service instead of their brokerage service.

    They don't offer 'their own mortgages'; they're a broker - that will be a rate from a lender that they can approach.

    L&C do not offer their own mortgages. They are a broker similar to any other.

    So for L&C's best buy table, the Lender column, where L&C's logo appears, this is just a deal with another bank that you can only get from going direct through L&C?

    Correct. They don't appear to update their tables very often.

    No its not correct.

    Its a deal that you can get through L&C but MAY be able to get through another broker or by going direct. But they dont want to disclose the lender at this stage so that you do go with them.

  • 2.35% 2yr discount at 85% LTV?

    This product is available as an 'exclusive' at 2.35% - exclusive to members of 'PMS' (Premier Mortgage Services - a massive, massive mortgage club).

    Not terribly exclusive...!
