  • With a 10% deposit on a newbuild flat your only option is Leeds (7.89%) if you can increase to a 15% deposit you could use the Woolwich (6.39%) but they also charge £1200 upfront (val and arrangement fees) more than leeds do

    Yep, I'm getting my mortgag through Leeds with the exact fixed interest rate above.

    Thanks for the heads up about Woolwich. I reckon I can get together a 15% deposit but it will take me another 6 months or so.

    Thanks anyway.

    Hope that all goes well. Best to view the property as a home not an investment.

    Thanks for all your advice. I'll keep this thread posted with my progress of my first home!!

    Cheers
