No Deals With Abbey???

We have a mortgage with Abbey and our deal comes to an end this month. I have called them to try and get a fixed rate and they have told me there are no deals at all!!! Has anyone else had this experience? They basically said they are happy for me to take my business elsewhere even though we are good customers. This causes problems for us as our mortgage has now gone up 260 pounds per month and we are limited with mortgage options as we live in the US temporarily but need to keep our house in the UK. Any advice???

    The Abbey blow very hot and cold on retaining their own clients.

    Sometimes they offer brilliant deals, sometimes average ones, and sometimes none at all.

    Would normally be easy enough to remortgage elsewhere, but if you are currently living in the states it will prove more difficult.
    You may have to look at expatriate schemes.
    The RBS group have traditinally been strong in this area

    You might find that the Abbey svr is still the best option though
