    A lot of people mistake my brevity for judgment on them, or a degree of coldness in how I come across on here. I like to inform, without judgment and with the minimum of opinion (most of the time!).

    TBH I'm very different in real life and tend to waffle a bit, especially about football, when I get a client who supports Liverpool who lives in Redditch! :D

    I thought it was only United fans who come from nowhere near Manchester and are all glory hunting OOTs (out of town) supporters... ;)

    Talking to the business development manager of Halifax, they are expecting rates of around 5% for the 95% product.

    Only time will tell to see if they get a little more competitive when other lenders come into the market around January time.

    There are already 95% deals available before H2B. So these H2B deals either need to be easier to get or offer better rates for them to make any sense. I suspect they will be easier to get than regular 95% mortgages as there is less risk to the lender.

    The aim is to encourage lenders to offer more funds at 95% (and above 80%) than they currently do. From a borrowers perspective there's no difference.

    Oh, dear. My father in law (RIP) was one of the "Cheyenne Reds" who gave the Bolton contingent a bit of a rough ride through Salford 5 when they thought getting off the train at Victoria and a coach back to Bolton was a good idea after their FA Cup win in 1958... :eek:
