  • yeah one broker i saw didnt deal with lloyds at all....couldnt understand why when all other lenders where available to him.

    to be honest, i have no idea with regards to your question about the discount. i would need to ask the question - i would certainly not be impressed if this was not the case.
  • In the time that has passed between last night and this morning....the 5yr fix from lloyds at 4.59% has been pulled! great news! and replaced with 5yr fix rates and near 6%...not very attractive at all!

    looks like ill go with Nationwide!

    My guess is the developer will not be able to fund the discount if the property is down valued.
  • i would bet that you are most likely spot on there.

    just need to hope its valued at what i need it to be. ive been asking around work and a few people are on nationwide, and they didnt have problems with the valuations of their properties. fingers crossed....

    if my completion date is June, do you reckon i am still a bit early in applying? Lloyds had a mortgage completion date of 31st May, whereas i know Santander are 30th June....but i cant seem to find out when mortgages with nationwide need to be completed by. suppose if its before my completion date i could apply for an extension.

    i want to lock into a good deal before they disappear. and this morning lloyds dropped their better deals for 5yr fix. want to lock into nationwide before they do the same.
