    Dont take this the wrong way, but leave your broker to do it. I occasionally get people who do their own research based on my research and find little things that they think are an issue. They then get concerned it will fail and I spend the next week reassuring them it will be fine. More work for me, more stress for them.

    And this thread is a perfect example, what you read may not be correct or relevent.

    Im not having a go, but just trust your broker. They are being paid to do what they do every day. I cant comment for every broker, but I only get paid if my clients get a Mortgage, so its in my interest to do a thorough job on the research.
