The 2.99% deal is not available to brokers - checking the Abbey website I can only see one 2.99% deal which is available at 40% ltv, with a £599 fee payable upfront. BUT

to get it you have to be a Abbey current account holder for over 12 months with £1000 credit & at least 1 DD going out.

So looks like a headline rate gimmick that will be available to very very few people imo.

STOP PRESS :

You also have to be over 6ft 6inches tall, be fluent in six different languages and have a bushy beard.......and that's just the criteria for female borrowers :rotfl:

thank you for your answers i now understand that the 2.99% even with fees will be cheaper I`d seen both abbey and first direct myself the 4.49% was with the broker
will now go check if i meet their needs
thanks again

cmac

just to let you know i didnt meet the requirements for the 2.99%
you needed to hold an account for 1 year and have funded it with 1K for 12 months no chance
back to the drawing board for me

thanks

How does the FSA reconcile the facts that
1) Some brokers say that they are "Whole Market"
2) They do not consider the Whole of the Market.
