    Why not go to a fees free broker and see what they can offer you. Nothing to lose by getting them to check than just sticking with the Halifax.

  • Thanks guys. I might have been misunderstood..there are no fees to pay...only solicitor
  • hi guys, thanks for helping. We were at the consultation yesterday and they have given us a written offer instantly (hopefully they shouldn't come back regarding any employment issues).

    In the end i have gone for the 2yr 4.09% (no fees). The 3yr is 4.39%, but a fee of £995. I'll take a chance on the 2yrs and hope that the rates don't fly high.

    Since we've gone with halifax, they said:-
    1. No Solicitor fees (other than for adding my name to deeds)
    2. No Higher Lending charges
    3. £245 - MAF001 - a fixed rate of nil until the end of the term
    4. Free valuation (Already done!)

    They said other than a slight delay in adding name to deeds, it should not take more than 3-4 weeks to do the whole process.

    The valuation was done almost instantly via the web, so i don't think they need to do another survey, right?
