Today, 8.24 pm Is anybody using Marloo? Looks interesting, modern and like something that might actually work for advisers.  
Today, 3.36 pm I agree but I don’t think it’s our responsibility. I do lots for my clients post offer, but I don’t think it’s expected of us as a broker. 
Today, 3.12 pm We don't know what the solicitor has done or not done but I often find many clients expect things to be done for them by both the broker and the solicitors. So once you finish chasing the lender to get the offer out you end up chasing the client to get the legal part of the paperwork done.
Today, 2.58 pm Yes and perfectly legal but I thinks the accountant is BSing you. You can be a director and not a share holder or a shareholder and not a director, but if you own different classes of shares you still have some ownership rights. The may not have voting rights but the law is on their side if the majo...
Today, 2.46 pm If anybody is to blame here, it’s the solicitor. They should have notified the client that their offer is expiring and asked them to contact the broker.  The solicitor is responsible for completion. 
Today, 2.21 pm Lack of standardised level of designation for brokers.   Everyone, those just qualified in their short pants or someone who has been doing the job of 20 years is still a broker.  The clients don't have a way to identity who is who.  This is detrimental to everyone and not least to...

Today, 10.47 am Utter tosh, by the forum's paragon of virtue
Today, 9.44 am Are the properties in general flats? (It seems Flat values have generally dropped in the last few years and that igores the New Build Premium..). if they are not flats - would a revaluation help?   What was the Mortgage Terms - as I am surprised your saying sell or re-finance is the only opt...
Today, 9.38 am I can't honestly beleive the FCA 'likes' loaded premiums - but it seems they are not currently on the FCA's radar.   As others have said - it's all disclosed (unless the back page 'accidentaly fell off') - but Car Loans and commission was 'all disclosed'. ...
