£1100 cashback with Halifax Mortgages

Hello All

My brother is in the process of buying his first house and rang me this morning informing me that Halifax are now offering £1100 on completion on their first time buyer mortgages.

It seems to be two year fixed deals with a deposit of 25% or less so could really help people wanting to get on the ladder :)

    Could help.

    Could also cost people more money.

    You would be better off promoting people getting professional Independent Advice in my humble opinion

    Its all smoke and mirrors. If they give FTBs £1,100 of cashback they will most likely take it away through a higher interest rate.

    See a broker and see what they can offer to compare with the Halifax rate.
