First time buyer

Tonyw193

So me and my partner are looking to buy our first house in move in together. We're looking for a bit of advice as to weather to go to a bank and do it direct or a broker. Possibly L & C. Ive seen one mortage i like the look of. 5 year fixed with Barclays with 2.75% intrest rate and £35 fees this was via comparison website. Although when ive gone direct to barclays website i dont see this deal. So i suppose my point is if i went direct would they give me that?
If anyone has any tips for first time buyers please post your comments. Apologise if this is a stupid thread and a million of these already. Just new here.

I'm in the process of waiting for a mortgage application to be accepted/ declined through a broker. I am a massive stresshead, but I wouldn't have got this far without them. I wouldn't have been able to even find a deal that fits my situation, let alone get this far without the broker. In my opinion, their fees pay themselves in savings. A good mortgage broker will take a look at your credit files, affordability etc and will find you the best deals that you are eligable for. They also know the criteria for each mortgage that isn't necessarily on the websites!

Barclays do not currently have a 5 year fixed at 2.75%.

They have a 2.57% with cashback, but that is for newly built property only.

Suggest you use a good Broker as comparison sites give you no advice or guarantees.
