Looks like I am the worst. Mine is 215k at 6.19%
. Reason is 100% mortgage first time buyer and I used to have a slightly dodgy credit history.
fixed for 2 years and I can remortgage next June.0 -
I always go for the cheapest deal over the term including all fees - currently I track 25bp below br (2yr year discount) which equalled 2bp over base rate when all start and redemption fees were included - I also borrowed to the max as the fees were fixed and the over borrowing is earning 75bp over base in my wife's name tax free earning us 300paI think....0

I have gone as short as a 6 month discount as the leeds bs had foolishly offered a 3% discount fee free no redemption offer...it also helps that my mate is a mortgage broker so we share the set up commission too (including these would make my current deal sub br :-) )I think....0 -
Ours is fixed for 2 years at 4.39% with £399 arrangement fee.
Don't have a clue about what the exit fee or deeds release fee would be - hadn't heard of that at the time and I'm sure the mortgage broker didn't make us aware of it as she recommended getting a short fixed rate as it would apparently be very cheap to transfer!0 -
3.49% fixed for 2 years.......of course that has expired and now @ 5.5% flexible but only owe 20K and can pay-off as much as we can afford at anytime so not worth worrying about a remortgage!0

my mortgage is under £40k and it was worth taking out a slightly higher rate (4.89 at the time) and staying with the same building society for a fee free deal. Nationwide do both, with or without the fee, and helped me do the sums when I was deciding.
I found the mortgage comparison sites hopeless, as none of them gave the option of filtering for fee free deals, and it took hours going through one by one. I suppose I could have gone to an advisor, but in the end I took the easy option, as it seemed a reasonable rate for my circumstancesAll shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -
4.99 fixed for two years and offset. With the Coventry so when the fixed rate finishes we will be eligible for ALL their rates for new customers.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
