    Sounds as if mortgage brokers are being squeezed.
    Jonathan Cornell, from mortgage broker First Action Finance, says: "For those taking out new mortgages, the fixed vs floating decision is not getting any easier.

    "Lenders need to price longer term fixed rates realistically to avoid forcing risk-averse borrowers out of the market."

    And keep mortgage brokers in buisness........

    Yeah right. In what fantasy land do rates stay at record lows for another year? Do you think QE and low rates is affordable on a long term basis?
