they are huge jumps, adding £199 onto ours a month aloneDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

Slightly off topic but one client's Halifax product transfer rate was 3.42% fixed for five years no fee on Friday 30 September and on Saturday 1 October it was 4.35%. We couldn't do the transfer until Saturday due to the expiry date of the existing product. End result is an extra £3,786 interest each year.I am a mortgage broker.
