Hi,
My wife and I are first time buyers, we have deposit and excellent credit, we are looking to borrow 85% on a 130k flat.
So far, I am not impressed by the products offered by two high street banks and a mortgage advisor round the corner!
I welcome any brokers who look at this forum who can beat:
4 year fixed interest repayment 5.89% no product fee.
49 payments at £599.53. (by the way, why is this not 48 payments on a 4 year mortgage??)
This is over 40 years.
If its a good product, I would be willing to consider the broker arranging the mortage for us.
Thanks
Steve

By the time you complete you'll probably only have 46 or 47 payments!!0 -

Hi there, sorry I Dont undertand what you mean, could you clarify please?0 -
I imagine O4U means that, irrespective of when taken out, the mortgage tie-in expires on a fixed date which is currently 49 monthly payments away.
By the date of completion, you'll be a couple of months closer to that expiry date so there will only be 46 or 47 monthly payments left until that date.0
