I have had few agreements in principle of few brokers/agents
I see that on 2 of them the lender is the same bank but the agents have given me different interest rates.
Eg broker trussle has offered me 1.89% from platform (Co-op)
broker fluent money has offered me 2.59% from platform (Co-op)
How is that possible? same bank, same borrower but different rates, why?

Most people look at rates, but when discussed most people want the cheapest product - in 7-8 years I have only ever had one person want the cheapest repayments regardless of fees and it was a single lady who wanted to keep her expenses to an absolute minimum each month as it was just her.
