mortgage brokers

[sjhampson]

Having applied for key-worker house purchase scheme (new build) I now find that the brokers used by the builders will only allow purchasers to use Halifax B/Soc for mortgages. They do not give a good deal. Is it legal to force buyers to use a particular lender ?

They obviously get commisssion from those sources so they will do there utmost to get you to use them. There is not really a question of legality , that can't "force" you. Suppose those lenders won't lend to you. You can contact the builders directly, after all they want to sell there houses don't they?
