Best mortgage for 1st time buyers with 60% deposit?

Hey,

What is the best mortgage for 1st time buyers with 60% deposit? Needing to borrow £120,000.

I know very little about mortgages and what our best options would be!

we have been into our bank (LloydsTSB) and they said our best is a 3yr fixed at 4.39% changing to variable 2% above base rate. Is this really our best option?

  • With a 60% deposit "the world is your lobster" as Hilda Ogden used to say.
    The offered mortgage looks competitive to me.
    But there are other posters who may know of something better.
