    Never used them, but I am surprised you are finding it difficult to find straight talking brokers.

    Post your question on here, I am sure there are a few of us will give you a straight forward answer without beating around the bush even if the answer is not what you want to hear.

    The best brokers tend to be the small local firms that rely on local reputation and the adviser having only a handful of mortgages a week to process. The larger ones tend to be factory lines where they are straight on to the next one and the next one and can't give it the time that it may need if issues arrive.

    Most complain in this forum that there's too *much* straight talking. Especially when it's not giving the exact answer you expected.

    Try asking your question here, you may shocked how straight you get it (with both barrels).
