Broker

A broker is a company or individual that acts as a ‘middle-man’ between the customer and the company they are doing business with. Brokers have the knowledge and expertise to get the most suitable deal, often being able to arrange deals that are not available directly to the public. They also know how best to present the customer’s case to the company so they may be accepted when they would be declined if they approached the company direct. Brokers are paid commission by the company they introduce your business to, this is in additional to the fee you pay on completion for their service they provide.

BSQ (Building Society Questionnaire)

When applying for a secured loan the lender or broker will ask your mortgage company for one of these- a detailed account of your mortgage conduct, usually over the last 12 months. The fee for this is paid by the broker.
