Compare Help To Buy Re-Mortgages Rates

My Daughter's Help To Buy  fixed term mortgage with Barclays is about to end. It seems few lenders want to touch this business?
 Those that do have horrendous set up fees and unbelievable rates considering the Bank Base rate is only 0.1%.
 There are no comparison sites specific to this type of mortgage?

To give you an idea the deposit put in was £25K, £25K Help To Buy. The house is worth £170K when purchased 20 months ago and a further
 £15K spent on landscaping, tiling, and flooring.

She has a very well paid steady job that is well below her 3 times your annual salary ratio.

Can you set up a comparison site specific to this Martin?      .

    There are so few players it would be a waste of time 
    The ongoing rates offered by Barclays will be competitive.

  • I know what you mean OP - its like the worlds biggest secret finding out HTB rates of those that offer that product. I was looking round for my son and could not find any details

    My advice would be to go with a broker.  
    We had HTB and fixed rate for 2 years.  We remortgaged and paid off the HTB last year. This may prove to be a bad decision but it was what felt right at the time.
    Our broker was really helpful in sorting it out.

    Sorry to hijack the thread but looking at this, if you go down help to buy option are you better getting a 5 year fixed rate (assuming you don't want variable)? Thanks
