Hi,

Im relatively new to the mortgage game so my experience is up to scratch as others having only had a mortgage for 4 years but ive seen what looks like a good deal online but is it worth getting a broker involved?

What do they do differently that i couldnt do myself? Are they worth the fee / hassle if the product ive found im happy with?

Thanks

    You might have found a deal your happy with, but will the lender accept you?
    have you checked their criteria against your circumstances?

    A presumption that using a broker is more 'hassle' than applying direct to a lender, will quickly be rebuffed by reading numerous posts on this forum.
