95% LTV Mortages

Options
Hi there, I am a bit new to this so please excuse me.
My wife and I have an A&L 3 year fixed mortgage @ 5.79% which will expire at the end of September this year. Because of the downturn, the A&L Halifax pricing tool/index has put our property into the 95% LTV bracket. Therefore A&L have offered us 4.99% for 1 year with a £599 fee. Question? Is there any other lender out there who can provide a better deal? I have a feel that the A&L is the best I can get?
kind regards

    At 95% you're right, that will be the best you can get.

    You'll be unable to move unless you can get the LTV down to at least 90%. Will A&L offer a longer deal? You might be better staying on the SVR as it may work out cheaper, and the 1 year deal doesn't give you much protection over increasing rates anyway.

    I'd just leave it to go onto the SVR which will be lower than the rate you are paying now and you won't hvae to pay a fee. Surprisingly when I look at their website the SVR is 4.99% which is a pretty poor rate.
