Effective 1 December 2008, Chelsea Building Society standard variable rate will reduce to 6.94% with a further reduction to 5.79% effective 31 December 2008.
Hope this helps any Chelsea customers on SVR
Can I ask where you read this? I am not in the UK so my letters from Chelsea take a while to reach me - been checking their website and it states that their SVR is 7.24% (page last updated on 17th Nov)?0 -
Confirmed with Egg that they will be reducing the SVR by 1.5% in December, which will take effect from January's payment. That will bring the rate down to 5.29%, which I'm quite happy with.LongTermLurker wrote: »
