Mortgage Adviser recommendations..


Recommended Posts

London & County are great - we had a tricky request ie partner starting new job, me freelance and vendor wanting a 4 week completion, they handled everything and we got a better rate than going direct to the mortgage provider. http://www.lcplc.co.uk/ Our guy was Robert Gibb
Lee Francis from Francis Stone is a lovely chap, lives in East Dulwich, and helped us get a brilliant mortgage deal last year. Definitely worth getting in touch with him - I've recommended him many times. You can email him on [email protected] or phone 020 7654 7975. Good luck!

Interesting to hear all the positive feedback for L&C.


We used L&C and had a very poor experience. In the initial consultation I specifically explained that I wasn't a British National and asked if this would be a problem. I was told it wouldnt be and he would ensure that he wouldn't use any banks or building societies where it would be. The mortgage that was recommended was from a small Northern building society which I'd never heard have. We had the deposit and qualified for the mortgage but 5 weeks into the process he told me that we'd been declined as I wasn't a British National. The whole deal almost fell through because of this as the vendor was getting extremely restless. I felt that L&C were very pushy in selling mortgage and contents insurance as well. They were calling me several times a week trying to sell me products that were no used to me if the deal didn't go ahead!


I ended up dealing with Halifax directly who were brilliant. Sorted everything in 2 weeks and able to offer me a much better rate than what L&C had initially found for me. I much preferred dealing dirtectly with the bank as I was able to find out exactly what was going on without using L&C.


Good luck with your purchase!


Good luck!

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
