Mortgage faff

So our deal finishes in August.
Today went on line to sort out a new deal as I have done several times.
Normally look up deals for existing customers, pick the one I like, click, paperwork comes out, sign it. Hey presto, new deal.

Today the web page wouldnt let me. When I phoned , they said so ethnbg about the FSA deciding that we need to chat to a mortgage advisor? Is this bullshit?

I don't want or need advice. I want a 2 year discount fix, no fees. That's what works best for our size and duration of mortgage.
I have no need to listen to an advisor droning on.

Small mortgage, tiny portion of house value, never missed a payment, know what mortgage I want. Can't see what the deal is.

Has anybody had this or know why they would flag us for mortgage advice? Is it really an FSA thing?

It may be that due to the news of a general election in July, they were still deciding what the new interest rates would be / if they were changing.
Hence being directed to a FSA as opposed to finding a rate on the website ie stalling you till they decided on a rate, as opposed to you going elsewhere.,
