Opinions on this remortgage from Abbey

Hi everyone,

I currently have a 2 year fixed deal with Northern Rock at 6.19% which expires on the 1st July, returning to their SVR.

I've contacted L&C who have come up with the following from Abbey. I thought I would ask you good people if it sounds like a good deal?


My details:
NR Together Mortgage: Total outstanding of just under £116,000, 33 years left to run
House value: Around £128,000
Income: £31,500 (will be £35k by the time the mortgage goes through as I've just accepted a new job)
I have no other debt (it feels VERY good to be able to type that after years of student loans, credit cards etc :beer: )

Abbey Offer:
5.64% on a 2 year fixed, over 30 years. No arrangement fees. Free valuation. £250 cashback on legal fees.

It's portable, which is important as my house is a 2-bed starter home and I may well want to move some time soon.

Sounds pretty good to me, but then I'm far from an expert on these things. :o



Any thoughts or questions to ask would be much appreciated. Actually, reading that through it might be a problem that I'm changing employer in a month from now...

Thanks

Labour are the chip on this country's shoulder. No positive vision, no aspiration, just toxic politics. Hope not hate.
