Think you can trust lenders, mortgage advisors, surveyors and solicitors?

We constantly hear about horrendous things that estate agents and letting agents get up to, but the property bubble and resulting credit crunch has shown that the finance, legal and surveying professions I once took for granted I could trust, isn’t as squeaky clean as it should be.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I believe the majority of people and companies in the property and finance industry CAN be trusted. It’s just that we all need to do our due diligence as property is such as big expense and a big part of our daily lives, at the end of the day it’s our haven we come home to, the place we can be ourselves and relax.

So what’s happened since the credit crunch to these professions?
