    Hi Gordon,

    Ask them that as an existing cutomer you would be looking for them to waive the Arrangement fee. Then see what they say.

    Best of luck and let us know how you get on.

    P.S. It's bank holiday tomorrow

    Cheers

    They would not waive the fee but will switch me over. Options are:-

    "If you want the discounted product currently at 4.79% the fee is £295,
    however the fee free discounted product at 4.99%, there will be no fee to
    transfer product."

    Seems to be the best I can hope for. L&County never came back to me to follow up on their quote by the way.

    Great news. See how a simple call to your existing lender can pay dividends.

    If you still need the life cover then I would suggest asking another advisor to arrange it for you if you have heard nothing back.

    Use the figures I gave you as a guide if you like :beer:

    Cheers
