Wanted: Discount/tracker recomendation

Hi, This is my first post and I want to become a rate tart!
I'm looking for a discount or tracker interest only product thats going to save me money in the short term (2/3years) over the total product cost over that period fees included, for about £70k with no unfair extended tie-in clauses.
I did pretty well with my current tracker that is about to end as it's saving me well over 140 pounds a month! so I need to apply in the next few days.
I've seen a 4.99 product or two when searching the web but £2-3k in fees is just wrong!
Anyone got any tips on the best value products at the moment?

Tim

    Find a broker with no broker fees Google has plenty If you can find one locally thats just great. Mortgages are however easy to arrange over the phone or internet

    I'm doing that too, I was wondering if you guys had any top tips.
    I'm guessing that "no-fees" tracker circa 5.98% options are going to come out a lot on the searches. I was really wondering if anyone knew of any specials that would save me a little more?
  • I should have pointed out that we have good equity stats and no lending/credit issues. So, does anyone know of good direct trackers or discounts at the moment with no/low fees?

    If you have a search on Google you will find many mortgage comparison sites.
    Gone ... or have I?
