Should I go with a mortgage broker?

Hi all.
We are in the process of buying our first home through the right to buy scheme.
I have been following the advice on this website, and have looked at the best deal that I can get myself through the comparison tool on here, and have also contacted L&C brokers as advised on this site.
Thing is, L&C and myself have come through with the exact same deal with Nationwide. So would it be better to go with the broker, or do it myself?
Thanks in advance.

That might help you make your decision then. If you wait for an appointment with them, the rates could have changed by the time they get round to helping you.shar_2 said:

Also, although nationwide are quite competitive on rates they are taking about 3-4 weeks to assess documents at the minute. That might also help you decide whether you want to proceed with nationwide.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
