I totally agree. I used an IFA to initially find me a mortgage provider a couple of years back, but when I learned that he was getting a thousand or so pounds in commission I did my own homework on the internet.
You can get all sorts of free printed performance information and heavy discounts on investments from reputable financial advisers such as Hargreaves Lansdowne. It's well worth doing the 'legwork' yourself IMO, and remember that computerised trackers outperform managed trackers in the vast majority of cases and are much cheaper in commission and annual charges.
