    Yep, the nationwide one you've found is that best I've found, and by a fairly big margin. Although I'm looking at 65% LTV so there might be something else out there for 60%. Was up at 4.79% a week or so ago so it's only recently dropped.

    FTB? Sub Purchase? BTL? Remortgage?

    Size of mortgage? Under £130k, fee-free with higher rate may be better!

    I have found First Direct consistently have very competitive rates provided you have a good deposit. They just put their application fee up from £99 to £199 but that is still cheap in comparison to many, no completion fee either.

    Current FD rates are 4.59% on a 65% LTV with £199 fee. Current Nationwide are 4.39% (£400 fee) or 4.59% (no fee). However I believe Nationwide are very selective. I've not seen anything better over 5 years but would be interested to hear if others have?

    As expected, 4.39% is the lowest 5 year fix, with Nationwide. £499 fee for FTB. 4.59% is fee-free option, also with Nationwide.

    Can't see anything else now.

    We've just put in our application with First Direct for 4.29%, 5 year fixed.

    That must be new. It hasn't appeared on my sourcing system yet. I'm up to date as of yesterday.

    Looking on last night's update, it's still 4.59%. The only fix I can see for 4.29% is over two years.
