There are naturally lots of mortgage consultants that you can find on the web or in the Yellow Pages that will do a fine job for you in finding mortgage finance but in my experiences housing developers have their own pet brokers who they prefer you to utilise and the new home builders may very well reward you you to go with their preferred broker such as Ray Hurst's mortgage broking organization.
I will neither recommend or not the Hurst company but the fact that Barratt and Fairview use them should speak forcefully about the quality and integrity of their work.
You may very well think that this is a little weird and should you trust a mortgage broker suggested to you by the builder you are purchasing the house from? I'm in agreement it does sound wierd, but in real terms all the developer is attempting to do is to make sure the home purchase process is going to go as quickly as practicable for you and without any hitch.
The mortgage lending establishments use property valuation executives to value the price of the properties for them.
So that the Building Society and Bank surveyors and valuers are professionally qualified and are sometimes associates or fellows of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and carry the suffix of either F.R.I.C.S. (Fellow of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) or A.R.I.C.S. (Associate of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) after their name which designates they are professionally qualified and as such are not dependent on the house builder or home-loan broker advocating them to you.
It is in the banks and building societies interests to ensure a precise mortgage valuation is got.
There has been the odd purported scandal in the past concerning Property Clubs like Inside Track or Instant Access Properties but in this day and age it would be more than any surveyors job is worth to attempt to hoodwink anybody regarding property valuations.
Curiously, I wasn't able to find a sales leaflet on this explicit incentive plan from DW Homes, so if you qualify for the armed forces incentives for buying property ensure you ask the home marketing representative.
