I have 2 mortgage offers on the table from Northern Rock. It is a 100% mortgage on a flat for £132k. Basically the options are;
95% mortgage, 5% unsecured loan at 6.49% or,
90% mortgage, 10% unsecured loan at 6.29% - both fixed for 5 years.
The 6.29% is obviously cheaper and therefore looks most appealing. I am after advice on which option is best.
Cheers..

do those rates apply to the unsecured loan as well as the mortgage, normally unsecured loans have a higher rate.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
