Mortgage Brokers

[Bean]

I know the majority of us are IT geeks, but I have a couple of questions about buying and selling.

Looking to sell my first property and move up the chain.

PM me please if you're in the know.

If you are self-employed, I can recommend a Mortgage broker who specialises in this and has exceeded my expectations on several occasions (when most others couldn't).

Ring Craig at Graduate & Professional, www.gradprof.co.uk, 01453 885402.

I'm not self employed, I work full time for an American CRM company.

Just looking for a 2nd opinion on mortgage advice, besides my current lender.

I used a broker 5 or 6 months ago. Although they found me a fairly good deal, I was in no rush to send a cheque to them for close on £1000 for their services.

£1000 is a fair overpayment on anyones mortgage and I would of prefered to do that rather than pay the fee.

If you can find someone who get commission purely from the mortgage supplier, then thats gotta be the best deal.

YHPM.

Langy's right, 99% of lenders pay a nice big procuration fee (typically £500-1000), it's only a couple of provincials and mutuals that don't, plus there's more commission on insurances, it's not unusual for a broker to earn £2k from an average mortgage.
