HSBC -Life Time Tracker Special - Looking for some advice

Options
Hi guys

I have asked for advice on a few mortgage products on here but never gotten round to actually changing my product over.

now I am extracting the digit and getting it done.

I have found the following offer and wonder what the general conciousness on it is.

HSBC - Life Time Tracker Special

Rate 2.19%
Set up fee £99


We are currently paying 4.6% Variable to Abbey
We have roughly 60% LTV

Comments

  • It's a lot lower than what you pay at the moment
    It's very cheap to transfer
    You've got a good LTV

    Just check what the exit fees are if you're locked into this and your situations change, but from my eyes, it looks like a decent deal!

    Just be careful in case rates rise to say 10% in 12 months time, could you still afford it?!
    Feb 2012 - onwards MF achieved
    September 2016 - Back into clearing a mortgage - Was due to be paid off in 32 years in March 2047 -
    April 2018 down to 28.00 months vs 30.04 months at normal payment.
    Predicted mortgage clearing 03/2047 - now looking at 02/2045

    Aims: 1) To pay off mortgage within 20 years - 2037
  • I must admit I've been very tempted by this deal myself. Definitely worth considering.

    HSBC are cherry picking who they accept. So you need to be sqeaky clean and top credit rating.
