  • Only YOU can decide what mortgage deal to take.

    Mortgages are personal, and should be based on your lifestyle, personal circumstances.

    Look at 90% fixed rates by using FSA website - http://www.fsa.gov.uk/tables/ then click on compare mortgages. At the time of this post they list the following offering 90% LTV mortgages

    Teachers Building Society
    Post Office Ltd
    Clydesdale Bank
    Yorkshire Bank
    Cheltenham & Gloucester
    NatWest
    Royal Bank of Scotland
    First Active
    HSBC
    Abbey
    Halifax

    They range from 5.69% (Teacher's Building Society) to 7.49% (Halifax)

    Maybe lender criteria i.e. income multiples is dictating the choices available to the OP

    Although I would have thought a lower rate would be possible.

    OP - Is that Cricklewood you are looking at?

    You haven't posted any figures, but as with any areas there are good and bad places

    Should have plenty transport links in that neck of the woods - would it closer to Brent Cross or Hampstead?
