    Secondly, your logic is fine if you want to stay with one lender for life. A lifetime tracker is a relatively good deal, on a smaller mortgage.

    But for a long time you could have switched from one sub-BBR tracker to another with A&L, and paid only a £250 switcher fee and a £499 (or similar) product fee. That is way cheaper than lifetime BBR+0.23% for anyone with a big mortgage.

    What is best for one borrower is not best for another, necessarily.[/



    Totally agree MarkyMarkD - good points - we don't even know how big this mortgage is to even know what would be best advice.

  • Actually the opposite. This company is actually has many bad books and many other lenders too! It is a way to send them out and not stick with this company.

    Does that post mean something, Teddy? If it does, then maybe it's just me who's :confused:
