mrtickle Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 If you have any suggestions, I can pass them on. Cool, ok then. On the best buys page (http://themortgagemeter.com/#/best_buys) I'd like a droplist on the right column for the 'initial rate period'. I want to see the 'best 5-years fixeds'. At the moment I can't because all the 'best' overall are 2-year fixeds which I wouldn't ever touch. At the moment setting the rate to 'fixed' gives me ten 2-yr fixeds. I might be interested in something just a little bit worse than 'best'. Ie the top 20 or 50, not just the top ten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Knimbies who say No Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Nationwide today: http://themortgagemeter.com/#/latest_changes Nice site, refreshingly straightforward, something that seems to be often designed out these days.

the_duke_of_hazzard Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 I had to double check on the site itself, as I thought it must be a bug. But no: Nationwide now don't bother with 60% LTV mortgages. http://www.nationwide.co.uk/mortgages/interestrates-types/rates.htm?propertyValue=200000&mortgageAmount=100000&mortgageTerm=25&buyerType=ftb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So FLS is definitely having an effect here, but who'll take them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So FLS is definitely having an effect here, but who'll take them up? I'm quite tempted, to be honest. One of the barriers to me taking them up is the constraint on getting hold of the ready cash. Most of it is tied up in multi-year bonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Loo Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Minimum mortgage is £25,000. Not worth them getting out of bed for an average wage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbury Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Thanks for the heads up. I'm just applying for a mortgage and this prompted me to double check my bank's rates. I found that they have just reduced their rates. I've got onto the new reduced rate. Westbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_duke_of_hazzard Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Halifax and Lloyds drop rates slightly: http://themortgagemeter.com/#/latest_changes You'd be forgiven for thinking there was a price war... This isn't just 60% LTV either, but there's still quite a gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_duke_of_hazzard Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) Nationwide has done it again: http://themortgagemeter.com/#/latest_changes A sea of green.

the_duke_of_hazzard Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Natwest removed some mortgages, Halifax now offering a 2.30% 60% LTV mortgage. Can't they shift the free money quickly enough? http://themortgagemeter.com/#/latest_changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_duke_of_hazzard Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 http://themortgagemeter.com/#/latest_changes Looks like HSBC have removed some 7 year fixes, and tightened a bit on the higher LTVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tired of Waiting Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 (edited) http://themortgagemeter.com/#/latest_changes Looks like HSBC have removed some 7 year fixes, and tightened a bit on the higher LTVs. Any 10 year fixed still around?? Or are banks afraid of inflation in the medium term? Edit: I've found this: http://www.money.co.uk/mortgages/10-year-fixed-rate-mortgages.htm Lowest rate for a 75% LTV is 4.6%aa.
