L&C Customers Save £5.9m in Broker Fees

L&C Mortgages, the UK's largest mortgage broker has calculated that its commitment to no fee, whole of market broking saved its customers at least £5.9m in broker fees in 2008.

London (PRWEB) February 18, 2009 -- The mortgage market has changed out of all recognition in the last 18 months and borrowers are ever more keen to seek quality advice without incurring a heavy cost for that advice. Mortgage arrangement fees have soared in recent years and with some broker fees amounting to as much as 1% of the mortgage amount on top, borrowers cannot ignore their impact.

"Fee-free, whole of market advice coupled with quality service from application to completion has been central to borrowers choosing L&C. With mortgage availability restricted the last thing our borrowers want to face is another fee. That's why we are maintaining our commitment to fee-free mortgage advice, commented David Hollingworth at L&C.

Borrowers seeking fee-free advice should call 0800 373300.

Saving in broker fee calculated based on a fee of £250 per mortgage.
