Is there any benefit to paying a mortgage advisor compared with using a broker like First Mortgage who appear to provide the same service but get their fee from the lender? 


In my experience, the mortgage broker was a million times less cunty, less full of buzz-words and honking patter, and also did far less talking over you than the mortgage advisor. Probably more a reflection of said individuals than service provided to be honest.

I’m struggling to fathom why any sane person would ever pay for mortgage advisor rather than using a free broker unless there’s something I’m missing.

I suppose some might think if they are paying for advice it's more likely to be impartial as the provider doesn't need to think about recommending something that will give them commission

The consumer probably ends up paying the same anyway. Eg pay the advisor and get a fractionally better deal. Pay "nothing" to one of these brokers and the mortgage company charges a fraction more and kicks it back to the broker.

No doubt - but the consumer probably isn't aware of that and feels more confident they aren't getting ripped off when paying for advice
