    SVR is the highest in the industry at 5.99% but how many customers actually go onto their lender's SVR?? Not many I would imagine.


    Just the one's that no longer meet criteria to move lenders and are screwed by their current lender.

    Quite. When I explain to potential clients that Accord is 0.2% cheaper for two or three years, but the SVR is 2% higher for the other 22/23 years, they understand why I think (for example) Nationwide is a better option.
