Banks have been getting a bad rep lately with all the new rules and them just trying to de-risk themselves in a property market full of unknowns.
But if you want a home, you kinda need a bank to give you money.
So, which is best?
Well, it depends on your situation and the current rules at the bank.
If you want a new build, then some banks are better.
If you have a smaller deposit then you might only be able to go to your own bank.

So listen in, learn some stuff and then send us your information. :)
