We've had our offer accepted, so we're trying to find the best place to get a mortgage. Our account is with the CIC, and our banker has been very helpful, but she suggested that we get some quotes from other banks to negotiate with.
We have a friend who works at LCL, and they seem to do really good deals, but CIC said they can't match them as they're such a big bank. Can anyone suggest anywhere else we could look please?
Also, I've found that there are lots of English mortgage brokers working in France, has anyone used one? Alternatively, does anyone know where we can find a French mortgage broker? Neither I, nor DH, nor anyone in his family could remember what they're called in French, so we can't google them
Thanks very much!
Oh, one more thing, sorry! Can anyone recommend anything that we ought to negotiate to have as part of the mortgage? For example, is it worth having interest free early repayment? Even if it means having a slightly higher repayment rate?
Thanks again!
