Currently with the One Account and looking at switching

Hi all

It;s been a long time since i made a post...

Here's the deal. We have a £250K property and around £51k outstanding to pay off.

We're with The One account and the rate is 6.35%. Have been with them for nearly 5 years now.

I went with the One account as i liked the idea of this huge overdraft and how i can dip into it if i needed the xtra cash. Well i don't any more and am looking at switching.

I'm looking at paying the mortgage off between 7 to 10 years time so would be happy to go with a 10 year fixed deal.

Any suggestions anyone (lenders, rates etc)?
WOuld you switch if you were in my position or would you carry on with the 1 acc?

Thanks as always

Oh and if i used a Broker - can someone recommend one (Near the Manchester Area) and what the charges could be?

    No issues with them. All good but the rate a little bit on the high side for my liking
  • Woolwich 10 Year Fixed are ok. Come with an offset savings account too.
  • hi we have been with virgin for 6 years allowing me to take 15months off work when i had twins & now we have finished all the work to our house we are changing to a fixed rate for 5 y's. we were finding the rates with virgin very high. we are now uping our mortgage by £9k & will be paying the same as we are now???

    Who did you go with then? and what rate did you get?

    I'm not sure what would happen to my account either.
