In reply to GrantB:
> That's interesting. Why do you not like dealing directly with a bank?
It's not that I don't like, it's simply that they offer better deals through brokers than they do directly, supply because the competition on price is more intense through the brokers. That is where the big lenders compete on price for volume.
One thing to be aware of though with brokers, is that they tend to always push you for 2 years deals (that's better for them as they probably get your business again in two years time...). If that is fine with you, good, but if you think 5 years is best for you do not let them dissuade you. There are some really good 5 years deals to get through brokers right now.
