For mortgages - from midnight tomorrow.........apparently ;)
Birmingham Midshires’ current rates are due to be withdrawn at midnight tomorrow. Full details must be received by close of business Tuesday 11th March in order to secure the rate requested.
We have had unofficial information which indicates rates are to go up quite sharply.

    If I got the offer from them, but need to reduce amount I want to lend? Will it affect me? Will my rates be same or new?

    Thanks

    I think we will see lenders increase rates over the next month. Remember when the crunch hit, so many lenders said they have funding until q2/3 of this year.

    Also with less competition rates will increase.

    Best thing to do is call them or look at the website for updates.

  • Den,

    IMO I would say if you already have a formal mortgage offer and just need the loan amount changed - you will be fine - won't affect you.
