I didn't pay anything to my broker, and the commission from the Nationwide was £680. I don't know whether that all went to the broker, some to him and some to the network, etc...0

I've been in the position where I've not been able to get a recommendation for an advisor. It's really frustrating when you come on here and see great advice from brokers whom you can't access! It'd be great to be able to use one off here instead of thinking god I wish he/she was my broker!0

I used one off here. Just PM them. Some on here don't do telephone only, some do only face to face. Just take your pick your reallly.
Got my mortgage offer very quickly with self employed status too."It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"
