For those also considering their long-term financial planning needs, such as senior life insurance, having access to independent advisers can be invaluable. Mortgage advisers who only recommend mortgages from a certain ‘panel’ may restrict customers to certain lenders and products, thereby limiting their compared offerings. Meanwhile, customers speaking to an adviser based in a bank or building society will typically only be told about their own product range instead of being able to compare all available options. Whole of market mortgage brokers work with customers’ best interests at heart and ensure they have access to all possible options in order to secure the best deal possible on their new mortgage.
