Mortgage - Help needed!

Hi,

My bf and I are starting to look into buying our first house. We went to see a mortgage advisor yesterday at C & G. We have been told that we can borrow the amount that we are looking - £170,000 and have a £45,000 deposit.

Intially we have been onto moneysupermarket to look at the best deals around which is why we picked C & G, The rates that came up were [URL="javascript:__doPostBack('ucResultsPageContent$orResults$ctl02$lnkbtnInitialInterestRate','')"]4.39%[/URL] for a 5 year fixed, however, when we went into see them the rate that they gave us was 5.89%. Does this seem right for a FTB?

Any advise would be greatfully recieved :)

Thanks
