SO Mortgage Broker Recommendation

Hi All, 

As the title, really. I am interested in a SO property and have made an application.
My details have been passed to TMP for an affordability assessment and, as I understand it, they will then try to find me a mortgage, but I’ve been told TMP aren’t great so would like to find a broker myself. 
Could anyone recommend a broker with experience of SO mortgages? 

Thanks in advance.

  • Sorry, no advice but it your case is straightforward then TSB and Virgin used to offer good rates for shared ownership..

    Thank you @Snookie12cat. My case isn't quite straight forward so I would rather not take the risk of applying myself just in case. I've had no adverse events in over 4 years and all accounts have been settled for nearly 3 years so my file isn't terrible, its just not great either. 
  • Hi, we used a fabulous broker that used to regularly post on this forum, I’ve sent you a DM.
