Mortgage Advice

Hi, my mortgage is up for renewal at the end of June, could somebody give me some advice as to how the market is likely to run, should I hang on as long as possible and wait for a better deal (if they will get better that is) or should I be looking to change straightaway. I hear so much in the news, its getting all too confusing.

I usually have a 2 year fixed get out with no penalty mortgage and no upfront costs, which seem to have all gone these days.

Unfortunately, not being a chancer, I like to know what my payments will be, so I'm looking for a fixed mortgage. Am I too cautious? should I be looking for another type of deal.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance

    What product is right for you is specific to you. You will get people saying do this or do that but until they get a proper feel for your full circumstances, you cannot be advised which way is best.

    You should be looking for deals now as it takes 4-6 weeks normally to process the remortgage but its good to build a bit of time incase there are any unforseen delays.

    Mortgages are being pulled left right and centre. Best grab one while you still can.

    I have contacted London & Country today to see what they can come up with.
