Hey Guys
I had a confusing conversation with nationwide yesterday and just want to check I got the best deal.
So I was offered the below and I picked the 2 year fixed Fee
I'm a bit confused as to how she came to the conclusion that it's a better deal though...Sort of just trusted her in the end but afraid I got done by a shyster
So this forum wont let me post a picture of the statement but here's the info...
The fee was £999

There's not a lot in it but by taking the 2 year fix with the fee you will end up paying £22.50 less than if you took the other product. You will also end up with a smaller mortgage balance i.e. will have paid off more capital, by taking the 2 year fix with the fee. A whole £225.08 more.0 -
Well you pay an extra £33.60 over the 2 yrs (24x£1.40) and end up owing £225.08 less so you are £191.48 better off.0

OK thanks all0

The overall position also means that even with adding £999 fee to the loan, you will have paid less than the higher no fee interest rate. Nothing wrong with this advice at all.0
