Thanks for all your comments regarding my situation. Considering the bank of England base rate i just feel very unlucky that i'm paying 4.99% I'm trying to save for a wedding at the same time but i guess i'll just have to work a little harder and try and pay off some capital. Why oh why didn't i go onto a tracker mortgage lol0

It's great that you feel unlucky paying 4.99%. I once paid 16.5%.

I'm coming to the end of a 3 year deal with A&L and they want to put me on 4.99%
I want another fixed but they'll only offer me 4.99 for 2 years. Why on Santander websie do they offer 3 year deals and above yet when I phone they say they're only offering 1 or 2 year deals?0 -

Santander robbing us blind!!!
I'm sorry, I cannot see anything on this thread that shows this.I just happened to notice the other day that Santanders SVR is 4.24% but i am still paying A&L's 4.99%, surely this can't be allowed to happen?
A&L failed and had a higher risk lending book than Santander (or at least Santander could afford the risk that a&l couldnt. So, why should A&L mortgages be at the same cost when you consider the risks that Santander has taken on?I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
Being offered 3.35% (2 year fix) or 2.09 (2 year tracker) with Santander (A&L).0
