Most mortgage brokers are whole of market (deal with all mortgage lenders) and will advise you on the best mortgage deal based on your individual circumstances.
It is not always as easy as it seems, as there are thousands of mortgages available at any one time, from various lenders, Halifax, Bank of Scotland, Lloyds TSB, Barclays, Northern Rock, Royal Bank of Scotland, Natwest ,Nationwide to name but a few. Would you expect any of these to tell you that a competitor has a better deal.
All mortgage brokers cover just about every type of deal and cater for all sorts of different requirements. They even have mortgage deals that are exclusive to mortgage brokers and not available on the high street.
As an example, a first time buyer or home mover may want the security of a fixed rate mortgage and an existing borrower may just want the cheapest remortgage deal. People who have had bad credit mortgages in the past may now be looking to try and get back to a high street mortgage lender or may require a new adverse mortgage (bad credit mortgage).
We feel that all mortgage borrowers, regardless of personal status, should be entitled to free initial mortgage advice from fully qualified mortgage brokers and mortgage advisors. All advice given will be on a whole of market basis and be specific to your own individual needs.
It may well be that a tracker mortgage, fixed rate mortgage, discounted mortgage, capped and collared, fee free remortgage or free legal and survey mortgages are best for you. It is down to the mortgage broker to establish based on your own needs which deal is best for you.
All initial advice should be free of charge from mortgage brokers so what have you got to lose. You may even save thousands of pounds over the term of your mortgage.By: the-mortgagebrokerArticle Directory: http://www.articledashboard.comThe author is a fully qualified mortgage broker and IFA but no longer gives advice to clients.
