    if you go for a free broker, you will get what your paid in terms of service and quality I'm afraid

    The free broker is L and C. Are they any good?

    You are running off in the wrong direction to try to save £600 on a £350,000 deal.

    No but I am trying to save money hence money saving expert. L&C have good reviews and therefore I have saved £600. However the mortgage they suggest will cost me £50 per month extra and I would like to know if there is one cheaper.

    But you just said that L&C can't place you with a lender unless you have 12 months temp work history.

    Also if the mortgage costs £50 a month more, then you haven't saved £600 have you - You will cost yourself £600, assuming £50 a month more over a 2 year period.

    But I'm out, because I am getting the impression you will be impossible to reason with.
