Havent a clue where to start looking for first time buyer mortgages, went down the bank and they just want to sell me their products. :confused:

Tried a couple of the comparison financial websites but they are either a rip off or look like a one man band.... or both :eek:

Can anyone recommend a good Mortage broker ?

..and also the ones which try and sell me _their_ product is there such a thing as an independant mortage adviser ?

Do not go near any financial advisers none are independent, they earn a living by geting comission from which ever 'deal' they offer you is the best for them. They get tapped on the shoulder by mortgage companies and basically bribed to sell products and they all desperate because there's no cash in it although they believe their own hype.

Is that really true ? I have mates who sell VW's and Mercedes and I get the impression they believe their own hype, maybe its just a sales thing.

Either way I guess you're right I'll do some number crunching and see what I come up with. thanks for the contructive comments guys much appreciated !
