    Had a look at the First Direct mortgages today and the 5 year fix at 1.94% looks very appealing, especially the £0 fee and unlimited overpayments.

    Our fix with Halifax expires in March so will be looking again nearer the time.

    Anyone know what credit reference agency First Direct check when you apply?

    Don't know but they are thorough (how much for milk deliveries? etc.) and I don't know anyone who've described them as lightning fast. But once you're on board they're good and value their loyalty.
