I have had this a lot recently, my clients are coming to me for a decision in principle and then when they offer on a property the estate agents are saying (if you use our mortgage broker and conveyancing you are more likely to have an offer accepted) this is not true!

A self employed mortgage broker is genuinely working for you, we get paid when you get the keys, estate agents get a salary and their commission is made up of conveyancing and mortgage advisor leads. A self employed broker is genuinely working for you and will always do what is best for the client.
