Building Society Takeover

I'm currently on a good deal with the Newcastle. 0.5% above base rate.

I've just read that they may have been in talks with the Skipton. I was wondering what happens to existing mortgage holders. Do they lose their deals and get shoved onto whatever the new society decides or does the new society take on the liability?

Thanks.

Ed.

    What they do with the standard variable rate after the event is, however, discretionary!
