Mortgage comparison

Hello all, I have just checked the mortgage deals on here but having almost 6 months before our current fixed deal ends, I haven't found an info which of those deals can hold the interest rate for 6 months if we apply now? I am aware that most banks only do it up to 3 months. 
We already have a deal with one bank not shown on this comparison that will hold the deal for those 6 months. 
Have I missed this detail somewhere on the website or does it not offer this time frame info? 
Thanks.

    @ena123 You'll need to ask the lender or look up offer validity on their intermediary website if they have it on there. Google '<lender name> for intermediaries'.

    Generally speaking, most mainstream lenders will issue remortgage offers valid for somewhere between 5-7 months or so.

    With some lenders you can even 'reserve' a product for a good few weeks plus 6 months validity, others will do 6+1 month, etc.
