Nationwide

Has anyone used them recently for a mortgage?

We are currently with Natwest and the remortage rates work out £60 worse off than if I went with Nationwide, on a 5 year fix.

Wife is currently on maternity but definitely going back in January. I know Natwest just need a form from the employer to say she is going back.
Do Nationwide do anything similar? Funnily enough she works for Nationwide :)

Thank you.

    All Lenders will want confirmation of when she will return to work, under what hours and terms, and ongoing childcare costs.

    Don't know if I'd remortgage to another lender for £60. Maybe just me, but less hassle with a product switch and don't have the potential risk of bumps along the remortgage road.

    I believe we are talking about 60 months at £60

    I have seen on a comparison site that Natwest will do it roughly for the same cost however I would have to go through a broker again.
