Best Mortgage brokers?

Used this forum a few months ago and got a great mortgage broker, lost contact with them now that I am ready financially. So just looking for some good brokers :)

    Most local brokers do a good job. Avoid the estate agent chains.

    Im after one too, in the Birmingham area . Wondering if fee free broker will be good enough?!
  • look for a local broker, Fee free isn't always the best way forward depending on your scenario remember you get what you pay for

  • Well I paid for my broker and they've been shocking. I'd advise you not to consider CLS Money they've been so difficult to deal with despite the glowing feedback on their website

    If you case is pretty straight forward i.e No CCJ, default, recent missed payment etc, go for a free fee local independent broker.
  • It wasn't thats why I used a broker, the service has just been rubbish I've had to do all the chasing and following up they're just not proactive at all with what I've encountered.
