Santander mortgage 1.89% fixed for 5 years. No set up fees but £700 home survey. I would get 1% back every month so full £10 a month as an account holder.The mortgage will be for 5 years so no going onto higher SVR after.
Anyone know of a better deal?was thinking 5 ye fixed as reasonably low rate and worried rates will go as surely can't get lower?
Saw First direct fixed 5 yrs possibly save me £100 over 5 yrs but wonder if ? More likely to be accepted by my own bank as a saver but age against me as on that deadline age for 25 yrs to retirement.

loyalty doesn't pay, you go through the same criteria as everyone else"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"
