Lloyds TSB mortgage?

I'm about to buy a second house all offers are accepted and going through the legal bumf, we've opted for Lloyds mortgage at 5.1 percent fixed for 2 years then onto the interest rate, we bank and have everything else with them, is this a good offer? we went for 2 years just to get that out the way then see what the interest rate is like in 2 years.

Its a 10% deposit, repayment mortgage

    There are better rates available in the marketplace.

    Having everything with one organisation isn't always a good idea. Do some research on "all monies" charges.

    5.1% for 2 years fixed is quite high. As mentioned, there are much better deals available How about the product fee and other fees?

    lloyds give you a .2 % discount on the normal rate if you bank with them, and also, we were quoted 4.89% for 90% ltv, and for 85% ltv, we were quote 4.19% (or we'll be paying 3.89% as we bank with them)
