Your initial consultation is obligation free. We may charge a fee for our service which is typically £250,  and we will retain the commission from the lender. Alternatively, you can choose the fee only option which is typically 0.50% of the amount borrowed. The precise amount will depend on your circumstances and loan amount, and will be discussed and agreed before you make an application.
