    Check your numbers they look like the 30 year term not 25

    Purchase price 210k
    deposit 31,500k
    income 44,500k

    Borrowing £178500
    25y
    @ 3.84% £927pm
    @ 3.64% £907pm
    30y
    @ 3.84% £836pm
    @ 3.64% £816pm

    The saving taking into account the £200 fee is £312


    What are the follow on rates for each that is a critical piece of information in deciding.

    My figures were differnt actually, I was just wondering why the brokers were different to mine??


    So basically they are offering a mortgsge that i cant have as its for existing customrs only and they put the info at over 30 yrs when we told them 25??

    What a joke!!

    Looks to have been some crossed wires at the very least!

    If you are not happy with the broker you could find another one. As long as you have not paid up front you have nothing to lose.

    I could have revealed the lender but didn't as I do not know your circumstances. Not helpful to you to be given details for a lender you may not fit for.

    You could go back to the broker and tell him what you know now. They may have another option for you

    No brainer for £300 extra you get a much better followon rate should you need to stay on the same deal, which can and has happened to a lot of people.

    85% LTV and prices may drop so this is a potential risk for you
    after 2 years the ballance will be £171,400 so around 82% not a lot of room.
  • Its not really a no brainer as, as said above they have offered a mortgage for which I don't qualify?? I said that when I have looked into it it clearly states its for exisiting current account holders only?

    In regards to amount outstanding I have used the mortgage overpayment calc and we will be over paying approx 250 a month for first 2 years, we also expect the odd gift payment from family that will be approx 1500 maybe once a year
