    yes it is. He is a great character and I find him highly amusing. No problems and I apologise if I have come across as mocking anybody in the position of not being able to buy. I really hope the situation changes but without crippling the economy with repo's etc.

    Our concern is that with rates going up that come December we won't get a new fixed rate that is less than our current 5.99.

    Our current deal was stepped, with 3.99 for so long going up to 5.99 for the last year. We have managed on 5.99 but only just and any increase would be tricky to say the least.

    Look at what deal are currently available with other lenders, and see what rates they offer.

    I think you'll find that they are going to be around the level you are currently at.

    So it may be worthwhile starting the re-mortgage process now, provided the lender you opt for has an offer letter valid for 6 months, and the product chosen does not expire within that period
