I'm looking for a London-based mortgage broker to do a pre-recorded interview for Sky News on the recent upheaval in the mortgage market: expectations for higher rates suddenly shooting up, banks withdrawing products in a flurry, and increasing credit checks. What was it like working for clients in those few weeks at the end of September/ beginning of October? Have you seen uncertainly like it before? Have things settled down again?&nbsp; Looking to do the interview with you next week. Can be fairly flexible on timings.&nbsp;

Mortgage market crisis?

Hi there, more than happy to assist with this either in your studio or in our offices just off Liverpool Street. Happy with recorded or live.

I have been on Sky News previously a few times and would be delighted to again.

Best, Andrew
