Hi everyone
With the credit crunch helping bring the BOE base rate down to the amazing low of 0.5% for nearly 4 years, all those on base rate trackers must be doing well, myself included.
So I thought I'd do a little survey.
What's your mortgage rate?
I currently have a great deal I started in 2008 with the Coop bank, on a lifetime tracker (which was also no fees) at 0.24% above for 2 years and then 0.59% above base for life so I'm currently paying only 1.09%. Plus I get Coop membership points and they offset 10% of my carbon footprint free every year.

.35% above base life tracker. So .85%.
Started mortgage in July 2007.
Currently investing in my SIPP. :beer:0 -
I had a mortgage that tracked the base rate, with no additional percentage, so I was paying 0.5% for a long time.
This was for the lifetime of the mortgage, with no arrangement fees.
However, it was a staff rate mortgage of a large lender.
I was able to keep that rate after redundancy, as I was a pensioner of the bank.
I've paid the mortgage off now.Early retired - 18th December 2014

You haven't got a low rate tracker then?Space available for rent0 -
Guessed right......I do not have a Base Tracker! Possibly due to the fact my mortgage was repaid years ago.
There are many borrowers around who have lifetime trackers well under base rate from the good old pre-credit crunch days when lenders like Woolwich were giving mortgages away. Consequently, they are paying well below 0.50%.0
