@jamielutz1987 think MSE search is way out of date. Current lowest deal on a 5yr fixed with Virgin is 1.69%, HSBC however is showing lowest deal at 2.44%?! Not with any details entered, just their rates pages for browsing.0

@KAP0365 I am getting the Virgin 1.47% 1k fee as the top recommendation based on total cost using the MSE finder

@jamielutz1987 not showing on Virgin’s website at all. Nor is the 1.4% HSBC rate though I can see both on MSE search. Weird.0
