Best Tracker deal?

Hi all

Posted a couple of times about fixed rates mtgs and had some really great responses. Been to see they mtg advisor at Woolwich and as a result am now considering a tracker as was only considering 2 yr fix anyway as may be looking to move.

The tracker is 2.89% no fees vs the fixed rate 3.49% no fees on a mtg of 95000 with LTV approx 40%

Anyone find a better tracker deal recently. I am looking for the absolute best deal to allow me to overpay but am finding the comparison sites very confusing!

Thanks

Katty

    With 40% LTV there should be much better trackers out there.

    Try FD, HSBC, YBS etc...

    Trackers with no fees, no ERC's and overpayment facilities would be my priority

    I think the ING lifetime tracker is the best going at present. This big margin over base is quite a shock. I'm just coming to the end of a 5 year tracker that tracks below base rate (-0.05%) albeit annoyingly with a 3% floor...Those kind of deals were common until 2008.

    There IS an ERC on 2yr ING tracker, it's 2% for 2yrs.

    HSBC have a Fee Free Lifetime Tracker at 2.09% + BOE (LTV 60% which you qualify for).

    It has no fees or ERCs.
    Unlimited overpayments too.
