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

Also had a tricky request, would recommend Massimo Stanzioni on Lordship Lane 020 8693 7778

We went with London and County, we were also very pleased with them. They made everything simple and were very prompt when responding to emails etc.

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!

David Jones at Francis Stone has just helped us with a new mortgage, a thoroughly painless process and much easier than dealing directly with the banks / building societies. Local as well.

London and County all the way, they are great and don't take fee as it comes from the bank.

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!
