    Agree, not bad at all, just need to work out the cost per month adding the price on,.

    On a positive note, it's £900 and not £999 :)

    £999 including the £99 booking fee?

    Nationwide doing similar for 4.09%, fee free, 70% LTV

    discounted tracker, thats a new one on me. Is the product a discounted rate or a tracker rate, back in 2008 the best product overall would have been a Woolwich lifetime tracker i do hope your brother has that product. Yes i do work in the clients interest, and if the best deal is a direct deal i will charge a fee of 0.35% of the borrowing to cover my costs, after all who works for Free. Before you ask i am not the Queen :)

    I don't expect anyone to work for free but why a fixed percentage ?

    If you did transact £100k mortgages I would be mightily annoyed if you wanted the same percentage on my £1m advance.

    Accord Mortgages (part of Yorkshire BS) are now doing a 5 year fix at 3.64%. It has a big arrangement fee (£1995) and valuation and (presumably) legals are on top of that. having said that the rate is very good.

    Normally, Yorkshire's deal undercuts Accord's because Yorkshire products are only available direct. Have a look at the Yorkshire equivalent.

    Because I have some disposable this month. Why not just pay the fees with this cash, as opposed to paying off the mortgage, surely much of a muchness in terms of having the extra added onto the mortgage? I'll still be paying interest on it?
    I think the point was, though this was some way back, that if you've got £1000 to pay the fees and you find a deal with no fees you could use that £1000 to reduce your mortgage.

    It's at 3.89%- same as Nationwide (albeit 75% LTV to Nationwide's 70%LTV)

    I suspect that there will be yet more movement in the 5 year market. I've just had my confirmed offer from Nationwide but am weighing up the pros and cons of ditching it and looking at Accord...

    Gosh, unsure of what to do or if there is more to it than the obvious.... Have been approved after survey etc the 4.09 NW mortgage at 70% LTV with a £99 fee..... Now there is the YBS 3.99 with £95 fee adn £250 cashback, is it really as simple as it being a £600 saving over 5 years and the obvious cashback to cover the previous NW survey and the YBS one? Is there any further issue I'm completely missing or shall I get applying for the YBS one and sack off NW? Many

    thanks in advance.

    The only other consideration is the follow-on rate?
