Just had my Mortgage transferred to "the Mortgage works" apparently a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide.
Anyone know what this outfit is like?

I realised that but I just wondered why it was a subsidiary and if anyone had a mortage with them and how they found them? Bank of Ireland (My last mortgage lenders) were pretty good and easy to deal with...[STRIKE]£106,200[/STRIKE] mortgage with 5% deposit 2 years ago on 6.99% 04/06/08 :eek:

TMW has said it won't increase the SVR of incoming BoI borrowers immediately. I'd read that as an indication it will happen sooner rather than later and that means nearly 2% increase.I am a mortgage broker.

We are in the same situation , although TMW say they won't increase the SVR our rate with the BOI was 2% less that Nationwide. Spoke to Nationwide and got the impression they would raise it. Seems very unfair as they've only taken over mortgages that have never had arrears with not much left to pay. Just to be sure we are in the process of looking for another mortgage.

I've put a lot of Mortgages through them in the last 6-12 months purely based on the fact that they offer the best rates at the moment.
I have no problem with them at all.I work in finance

I'm on a cr*ppy fixed rate for the next 1.5 years anyway.
Am I right in thinking if I was allowed to overpay 10% per financial year with BoI then I should be able to do the same with TMW!? I am just waiting to hear back from them about this they dont have all my details yet..[STRIKE]£106,200[/STRIKE] mortgage with 5% deposit 2 years ago on 6.99% 04/06/08 :eek:

I have a BTL mortgage with them. Have needed to contact them over the phone couple of times, no problem, usually have been able to sort out the queries like that.
Their rates may be competitive but arrangement fees for BTL mortages are astronomical for my liking (% instead of a flat fee).0 -

I agree TMW need to cover the cost of their funding. At present we are on a fixed rate of 2.9% with BOI, if TMW adapt Nationwides rates we will be £300 a month worse off. We do feel that we are being penalised for never being in arrears and only having 45% of our mortgage left to pay.Thrugelmir wrote: »Not unreasonable for TMW to cover their cost of providing you with funding. Low mortgage rates are unsustainable for lenders in the long term.
But lets face it , they can put the rates up to whatever and whenever they want to.
