It sounds as though you want a fixed rate? If not, then I can thoroughly recommend ING (ING DIRECT - Save Your Money!.

Yep sorry with Natwest at the mo, looking at around 90k mortgage, rate I'm on now is standard around 7% was 4.6%, looking for a normal fixed repayment mortgage.

I am looking around, just thought I'd ask on here to see if anybody was in the same boat recently and where they went and why.

I know its boring compared to other threads but thought it may be useful for some

After a couple of days searching I ended up staying with Natwest managed to get 5.85% fixed for two years with £500 fee, best I had from a broker was 5.77% with a £1000 fee plus £250 for him.

I was in my bank for about an hour in the end but it was well worth it though.
Have to admit I have an account with the bank so got an extra 1% discount, I guess other banks will do the same if not then join Natwest I guess.

You would have had that fee waived if you'd have pushed it.

Yeah maybe doh!, was just glad to get the monthly payments down to below 600 to be honest...it was due to go up to £735 on the standard rate , the cheeky gits tryed to add another £400 too as I increased my mortgage by a grand, but it didn't take too much convincing to get them to wave that one.

At least you sorted a deal out.

I've got 3.5 years of a fixed rate so ok.

A workmate had his fixed rate run out today and got hit with a £240 PM hike!

He had a new mortgage sorted in about 40 mins.

Yeah its quite scary how they are continuing to put up the base rate, a couple of friends have recently bought at 5-6 times there salary, luckily they got a fixed rate but hope things change in a couple of years.
I thought the housing market was starting to settle so why they need to put up the rates again I dont know, guess it must be something else driving the inflation now(not that I want to start talking economy ) Time to go demand that long awaited pay rise me thinks.

Usually if you change provider yes, I changed from Natwest to Abby once and they sent someone round to value the house.
Re-mortgaging is **** easy really just shop around and check for hidden fees, if you don't want to do it yourself just get a broker to deal with it.
