Quotable comment
Broker fees
"Most fee-charging brokers in the UK sit between £300 and £750 per case, with fee-free firms paid by the lender on completion. Consumers should always ask for the total cost in writing before proceeding."
Whole-of-market advice
"A whole-of-market adviser can access products from most lenders. A tied or panel broker cannot, which typically narrows the field to a handful of providers."
Adverse credit
"Specialist adverse-credit lenders assess applications case-by-case, but most require at least 12 months since any default and a deposit of 15% or more. A specialist broker can identify which lenders are currently accepting new cases."
