Mine is BOE rate + 0.24% with A&L..Works well for me as I can overpay as much as I like.But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0

I'm on a Woolwich lifetime tracker at +0.18%, with unlimited overpayments - glad I remortgaged last summer.Mortgage Free thanks to ill-health retirement0

I think the important issue that this thread is missing is how much the up-front fees for the mortgage were/are. HSBC are employing clever marketing with their rate matcher, given the huge upfront fees due in some cases.In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:0

That is a very valid point. The 'joining' fees are getting quite ridiculous now and are likely to prevent us taking up another fixed rate when ours ends in November. There is a point at which they make the offer quite unattractive.
Currently on 4.99% offset with FD, ending late in November as I just mentioned. Unless they bring back a 2 year fixed with 'only' a £99 booking fee (as they did before the latest new mortgages were released last week), then we will probably revert to the SVR, currently 6%. As well as looking elsewhere nearer the time. I really like our offset mortgage and we have banked with them for a long time (1994), so it would be a shame to move.0 -

We are on a 4.67% fix for 10 years and we have about 8 years left to run with that deal.0

Granted fees have risen hugely over the last 5 years.
How relevant they are depends largely on how large your mortgage is. The larger the mortgage the less important the fee and that 0.1%, 0.2% etc become all the more important0
