Morgtgage apps

Hey everyone - just wondering if anyone had found any really good mortgage apps that were both trustworthy and good to use? My mortgage is coming up for renewal and I went through a broker last time but, as I've been using apps like Monzo and Yolt a fair bit lately, I just wondered if anyone had found anything similar they could recommend for mortgages?

Cheers!

    If you don't want a broker to do the legwork for you (even for free), then you could search for all mortgages on the MSE mortgage finder, find the cheapest ones and go down the list one by one to check which ones you are eligible for (a significantly less straightforward task than it might appear to be.....).

    I don't know of any apps as such...but there might well be something out there!

    It is not to scare you in to using a broker, but more that you need to look beyond the deal. Ultimately the top 10 deals are all within touching distance of each other. A broker is not a comparison tool, any idiot can find the cheapest deal, you dont need a qualified idiot to help with that.

    It is just worth ensuring you check and double check everything if you do it yourself.
