Mortgage Express standard variable rate

Anyone know what their current standard variable rate is for residential ?

Can't find it anywhere on the customer or intermediary website.
Tried ringing them earlier, but could not get through.

I thought it was about 4.8%, but i could be wrong .

I have a client coming off a fixed rate, and i need to tell them what it will revert to.

I'll get in the phone queue again in the morning if no one knows :rolleyes:

thanks in advance.

  • I looked on the Mortgage Express Web Site.
    They do not give much away there as you probably already know. :confused:

    I know, and I think they have one person answering the phone for the whole country.

    Oh well, better get back in the phone queue at 9 o'clock. When I find out, I'll let you all know

  • I have a mortgage with Mortgage Express (originally GMAC) and my current fixed rate is coming to an end in July 2009, and I know I will go onto the SVR, currently 4.84%.

    However, when I spoke to ME they told me to ring back in April and I might be offered a new fixed rate, currently 4.2%.

    Has anyone actually been offered this?? If so, is there certian criteria, or are they offering this to all their existing customers coming off fixed rates?

    The impression I was getting was that they would not be offering any competive deals??

    Thanks
  • have they changed their svr for feb since the drop to 1% base rate?

    The 4.29% rate is for existing custs only. Seems a great rate to me, we will move over to it. no fees involved....

  • They haven't changed the svr yet, I spoke to someone on Friday and they said they were 'considering' it and it would be announced within 30 days.
