    Investec 1 Year Fixed now 5.35%
    Great to see this, and I find the investec platform unusually professional/slick for a bank that isn't a big name in the UK.
  • Does any one think Ford Money will put up their rate, I've a 1 year fix maturing in 10 days.
    At some point, yes. They have only fairly recently increased them though so who knows when.
    Gone up today  - Just saw 1 year @ 5%, 2 year @5.15% and 3 year @ 5.20%

    Super, Ford were on my shortlist for a number of reasons, but were getting left behind.

    Unfortunately, the money I was going to fix was my share of the proceeds of an estate property sale - completed today, the clerk was going to settle it after her lunch and hasn't been heard of since!   :o - must have been a very good lunch!

    5.38% now.  2 raises in 1 day.
    This is getting tedious!

    The 0.01% raises certainly are tedious.
    Much better when someone storms in from nowhere and takes it up 0.15% or so.

    Don't worry, we might be up to 6% by the time she gets back! 
    :D   Luckily, the funds have arrived, she didn't spend it all.  We were meant to complete on 31st May and it has been delayed several times, in which time interest rates have gone up tangibly, so it ended up doing me a favour for a change.
