Sorry. We had to say that.
It seems we have upset a few mortgage specialists from a certain bank that shall remain unnamed.
Apparently people are reading our articles about branch discretion (i.e., selective discounting) and then marching into bank branches asking for discounts off the “special offer” rates. Imagine that.
A few mortgage specialists tell us this has put them in bit of a “pickle.”
One email we received states:
“By quoting our "best client" rate on your website, it is an indication that all clients can get that rate "just for asking." We have very little negotiation room left and, if we give it to ALL clients, we have nothing left to offer those clients who truly are deserving of a better rate.”
Makes you wonder, eh?
Are you deserving? :)
Don’t Ask For Discretion At The Bank!!
