Anyone know a website where I can compare multiple mortgage advisers?

I am currently a first time buyer and me and my partner are feeling overwhelmed! We're finding it difficult to compare deals from different mortgage advisers. Anyone got any recommendations where I can compare advisers easily?

    when you say "advisors" - what do you mean?

    MoneySupermarket can compare deals.

    On what basis do you want to compare them? Customer feedback? Fees? Access to deals? Specialisms?

    A good question without a simple answer. There are a couple of sites with lists of Advisers but the Advisers pay to be on those sites so they can hardly be considered impartial.

    As DGG says above, what do you envisage you would be comparing?

    You need to be dealing with one Adviser you are comfortable with (do not work with more than one).

    Basic questions would be:

    Do you want to see someone face to face, or are you quite happy dealing online or over the telephone?
    (If the former, you need someone local)

    Are you prepared to pay Adviser Fees (these can vary from £0 to four figures)?

    Is there anything about your circumstances where you need an adviser experienced in a particular area, for example if you were buying a new build, or an affordable home.

    You should be looking for an independent Adviser, and one that can demonstrate positive feedback from previous Clients.
