Probably the better question is "is there any benefit in not going to a mortgage advisor?".
Given that plenty of them don't charge you, they'll do the heavy lifting on the documents and they likely know more than you about the market then I can't see why not.
The only scenario I've found it isn't worth it is when your existing provider gives you a favourable deal to renew but that won't be the case if you're moving.
is there any benefit in going to a mortgage advisor if we are both on PAYE and don't have shit credit or anything? or shall we just apply directly?
context is that we are moving and in a chain. we have accepted an offer on our place and accepted an offer on our next place. we cannot port our mortgage so need to go in for a whole new fresh one
