    2.5% long term tracker will be hard to better.

    OK you want certainty but unles you fix for the full tem you will only be doing it for a temporary period and then have to use the next cuurent deals or the new followon rate niether of which are likely to be as good as the base+2% tracker.

    True.

    I did report it, but it peed me off sufficiently I wanted a rant...

    I am just about to remortgage with nationwide after a 3 year fix. Their rates are very good at the moment. I will be getting 2.79 for another 3 years. They allow you to reserve 3 months before your end date.

    Your mortgage will revert to Nationwide's BMR of 2.5%. This is because your mortgage started before 30 April 2009.

    A few months before your fix is due to end, have a look at customer retention products offered by your current lender and remortgage products offered by new lenders.

    Take into account any fees payable to lenders and advisers, so you make a fair comparison. At such a low mortgage amount, it's likely the fees payable will outweigh the savings of a very low rate/high fee product.

    I would think very carefully about leaving Nationwide's 2.5% BMR. Once you do, there's no way back.




    Could you please tell me (I am sure it isn't as simple) a rough idea of what my payments would be on the 2.5% BMR. .

    Am I right in thinking they don't just half.... 4.70 to 2.5 .

    Kind regards,
    MollyJoe
