Legal & General has launched a service which it claims gives customers the ability to view and compare mortgage products previously only available through advisers.

Legal & General is giving customers information on some exclusive mortgage products not available on the high street (or any other source), which they negotiate for their advisers through their relationships with banks and building societies and specialist lenders.

As well as exclusive deals, the company’s Mortgage Comparison Tool, available at www.legalandgeneral.com/mortgages, will also provide mortgage information and support. As part of this service customers have the option to be contacted by an adviser from mortgage broking firms across the country for more information, once they have found a product that suits their individual needs.

Karl Shaw, business development director, Legal & General, said: “We’ve drawn upon our strength and expertise in the independent mortgage adviser market and our exclusive products to help offer extra choice to customers at a time when they most need it. We believe it’s the responsibility of the industry to ensure that we make as much information and support available as possible to people looking for a mortgage
