Property over 275k

I am looking around for mortgage deals and thought I'd ask a question here as well to see if someone knows about better deals.

I was looking for a property that cost around 275k (new build) and was looking forward to buy it.

I went on the moneysaving expert mortgage comparison page and found a deal from whoolwich

WEbsite

I can understand that it all depends on credit score and whether it cane be accepted or not.

However is 2.99% a good deal?

With a deposit of 10k, they can offer 265k. If they can do that, would this be a good deal or considering the current low interest rate I should be able to find a mortgage with a lower interest?

I am a first time buyer.

Thank you

    Your question cannot be answered.


    The only way to know if a product is good for you amongst those available on the market is to fully understand your situation, that is a job for a broker, not a forum.
