Feeling disappointed with mortgage advisor
Comments

Yes, I've always had CTL with Santander. Haven't checked with them, but I will now - thanks.0

Retention options are always the first check
If you want to change more than a retention allows(just the rate) that can complicate.
Then you go to a broker and their job it to find something better(might not just be rate).0 -
Great advice! Spoke to Santander, and the offer going direct with them beats what the £500 mortgage advisor offered!
Thank you.0 -
A decent broker should have checked and given up early if they thought they could not match or better a retention deal.
Still may not be the best option for you but a quick look they rates on offer seem to be in the general area you expect.
Probably(is in most cases) the least hassle to stick with same lender on a retention deal as long as for the LTV they are competitive.0
