  • 4.65% fixed for 10 years in January this year. Had to pay a fee for the priviledge though! I find it odd that people will choose a mortgage without a fee and a higher rate as you usually pay more that way.
  • 4.99% for 3 years - 2 months into the deal.
  • On the savings board people don't get out of bed unless they are getting more than you lot are paying in mortgages :).

    MSErs appear to be shafting the banks & building societies every way possible.

    There is even an ISA account to match TNG's rate ;).

  • I have just re mortaged from my BS basic rate of 6.74%:eek: to a tracker fixed at 0.34% above base rate for 5 years - so currently 5.09% and will save £75.50 per month when the BS actually get off their backsides and sort it out :mad: and now I can overpay my mortgage without penalties and move at will :) I should also point out that I did not have to pay for the product fee on this mortgage which is why it is slightly higher rate than I could have got if I had paid £700 in fees

  • Hi

    I have a 10 year fixed rate, taken out this year on £72K at a rate of 4.67% with the Woolwich. Have 19 years left, but hope to invest over the 10 year period to pay off the mortgage at the end of the term

    It depends how large your mortgage is, we used to have a £33K morgage and it was cheaper for us not to pay fees.
  • I have 3 years fixed at 4.99% - currently 6 months into it.
    It's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.
