Current good Buy2Let remortgage interest rate?

Hi,

I had to move from my home due to a lot of personal problems and have rented out my house. My mortgage is with the Halifax and they moved it over to a 'Consent to Lease' mortgage fee free with no tie-in period at 7.25% on a tracker. I have 23yrs 2 months left and £89,155.21 outstanding. I would like to know if anyone thinks that this is too high. I have looked at the Ing Direct thread and know they don't do Buy to Let but understand that a good rate at the mo is about 6.19% (?). Can anyone advise me whether this is right?:confused:

I rang the Halifax tonight and was told that on the screen its still showing up as being on 5.49% even though I'm paying interest at 7.25% and is going to contact the business centre to query it. I said that I was going to remortgage unless they are going to drop it.

Luv,

A confused jet!! x
