Portman INCREASE Their 5 Year Fixed

Following the BoE rate cut last week, we have been draggging our heels on applying for Portman's 5 year fixed at 4.45% mortgage.
In the end we caved in (needed to get cracking with moving our purchase on) and applied for it on Tuesday.
Today Portman have announced an increase in their 5 year fixed rate to 4.59%! :eek:
Phew, perhaps you other guys and gals waiting for lower fixed might want to reconsider.
It's nice saving £513.60 :money:

Aye spotted that, but as far as I'm aware Portman is the first evidence we've seen of it in practice. And I broke the Portman story first, a full 12 mins earlier. Hehe
If the mods want to merge threads that's fine with me, but I just wanted to make sure people like me who had been holding off for lower fixed rates were warned.
It's one thing to say that a rate rise is conceivable having looked at market figures, but seeing it actually happen is more likely to spur people in to action.
That's why I posted it in it's own thread... that and I was feeling a bit smug. :cool:Temrael
