We didn't know what to do, so we did this

Remortgage time, didn't want to change any terms of repayment or add to the mortgage so in our minds with all the turbulence until he works right now we decided for a no fee product with our current lender to a two year fixed at 4.73%. A bit of a choker when our current 5 year fix was 2.2% but not the worse

Hoping things calm down in the next 2 years

    Advantages are that you don’t have to wait for the remortgage to be processed, no application or arrangement fee, no property valuation needed. So you’ve possibly saved yourself some money on that alone.

    Yeah it's a bit of a jump into the unknown extra £125 a month but yeah as you say no arrangement fees, no surveys, no hassle, simple 2 minutes process.
