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........
