Mortgage renewal decision

Current with natwest, 2 year tracker due to end july 31st. Two years ago I paid 995 product fee, this year I cannot do that.

Residential mortgage with consent to let.
49% ltv
29yrs left

Currently on 1.79%, logging online they are offering me
2yr tracker 2.44%
5yr fxd 3.10%
2yr fxd 2.54

Are these the best deal for me or would I be able to get a discount if I call or go to a branch.

    You are fortunate to be offered such attractive options on consent to let.


    Going into Branch will not get you a discount, but it might get you a headache.

    Norwich and Peterborough

    FEE FREE

    Based on a 65% LTV
    New cusomers
    Fixed:
    2yr 1.89%
    3yr 2.24%
    5yr 2.54%

    SVR at 4.99%, is not competitive I grant you, but looking at what you can then transfer for a one off £70 fee (nothing really against the savings compared with others):

    Existing customers,
    Fixed
    2 yr 1.94%
    3 yr 2.39%
    5 yr 2.70%

    Which are also all very good.

    They also allow you book it in for up to 6 months ahead, and the term starts from the day of the mortgage, which means a 2 year term is a full term, which some other lenders don't offer.

    *Just dont sit on the SVR, at the end of the term.

    Our poster is not even living in the Property so will not get a residential deal from another Lender.

    Missed that crucial nugget (apologies)
  • As above, the "issue" is not the rates you think are available but the matter of the consent to let. Most lenders issue these on a very limited timescale - and some charge a fee every time/renewal.

    Generally speaking, there are bigger concerns than rate in this type of scenario - you should be also be factoring in your "mortgage shape" and tax position, especially in light of the changes occurring there over the next 3 years.
