I'm getting my mortgage sorted by a company called Park Row Independant Mortgages.

There aren't based in Sheffield but have advisers all over the country. Our adviser is based in Sunderland. They don't need to be in Sheffield to help you out.

Log on to Google and input the above and they'll pop up.

They are very good!

Hello,

Can anyone recommend any good no-fee, whole-of-market mortgage brokers in the Sheffield area?

Thanks in advance

The best I've yet encountered is actually in Colchester. Call Mark Smith on 01206 505325. There's no need to go local really, as the guy can fill in forms anywhere.

Anita Fawcett at Reed Rains in Hillsborough is very good. She's been very helpful to me and she can help you sort out insurance as well.

Can't remember their phone number of the top of my head but you can find it on yell.com

Is this the best way to go for getting a mortgage these days? Is it better than just approaching a building society like we used to?

samstar999 · 27-03-2007, 17:25

I think it is if the bank/building society only sell their own products. Mortgage brokers can search all the providers. I might be wrong but I think the brokers either charge you or they get commission from the lender. I suppose the fairest to the borrower would be where you pay for your advice so that they are not 'pushing' a certain product.

Pure Mortgages of Rotherham have been alright for me:

Thanks for all your replies

I am looking for a broker because I want to be sure I am not getting a biased selection of mortgages.. Hopefully I can then get a better deal.

That's the theory anyway

You could try London and Country mortgages.

www.lcplc.co.uk 01225 408000

Actually based in Bath but do everything by telephone. Just used them and found them very helpful. Recommended by Martin Lewis from Money Savings Expert. com.
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com

They are free to the user (you) and they get paid by the mortgage company.

philen · 09-04-2007, 18:32

I also saw that London and Country was recommended by MSE, I have recently read through their mortgage guide too.

goima.co.uk looks good too (awful website though), thanks

Steve Bett - tel. 01673 866581/07904 573102, email skybluemortgages@btinternet.com.

A friend recommended him to me, and he's in the process of arranging my mortgage for me. He's based in Lincoln but is regularly in Sheffield and will come and discuss your mortgage at your home at whatever time is convenient (evenings & weekends fine, and he was able to fit me in with a few days notice). He'll discuss what you want, then go away and find a few suitable mortgages and let you know the details. When you've decided on one, he'll meet you again to fill in all the forms and he'll chase it all up and keep you updated on the progress. He really has gone above & beyond what I'd expect from a mortgage advisor, he's helpful, very dedicated and extremely reliable.
He doesn't charge any fees and can also provide advice on life/critical illness/disability insurance cover as well as mortgages. I can't recommend him enough.
