What is it with mortgage advisors? Only doing that so they get your business every two years rather than five?

Could argue they felt interest rates wouldn’t move too much and they were wrong obviously

Luckily we switched Wednesay evening and saved £50pm before the hike on Thursday. Been meaning to do it for years but never got around to it.

We're with Halifax. No forms or anything as we weren't asking for more money, just switched to a five year fixed rate.

Mine advised it was all caused by Brexit, and once that was sorted out things would settle.

That was nearly enough to swing me towards a 10 year fixed!

Tony now a mortgage advisor ?!

That’s dreadful advice when central banks are increasing rates worldwide.

You did well to ignore

Ps I think your earlier assessment of wanting new business every two years is probably the answer !

Worth reiterating. They're doing everything they took Corbyn to task for suggesting in terms of borrow huge wadges of cash from seemingly nowehere, without a fraction (or, indeed, any!) of his social conscience!

At least he was doing because he felt it was for the good of the majority!

Exactly, hence me mentioning. Also, for those that believe you can print money/borrow endlessly (without showing you’ve got control of spending) without any consequences. As recent inflation, interest rates increases and no doubt eye watering government borrowing costs will now show

The fact that a Tory government has proved the point is impressive even by this lots high standards

Ps don’t be surprised if there’s another government announcement rushed out trying to demonstrate they plan to control spending in medium term. Truss might also have to do a deal on NI protocol as well which is no bad thing

IDK.
Besides the opportunity to ingratiate theirs and their cohorts benefit.I reckon they may be be willing to run with the outfall possibly beyond the original ideology if it brings about a keener hungrier Labour force without legislating or taking them on

No idea. But lenders are lining up to pull fixed rate deals now for new customers. Not sure if that includes mortgages agreed but not yet implemented.

Do they mean the arrangement fee or redemption fee for re-mortgage? I remember both products that were fee free, but they skanked you on the APR…. And never understood their point as it went on the mortgage anyway

Not sure they’re taking this seriously now. Going to make an emergency statement, in six weeks. Almost as long as it takes to get an ambulance


sorry, make that 8 weeks!

It's an excuse to pull out I guess. Current house is cheap but mortgage free (go me and my plodding along save until I can afford most of the cost of a house!) and there's something to be said for that atm!

I moved last year and thought I was clever going for two year, ends next March.

According to what the mortgage company just told me, if it ended today my payments would go up about £250/mo.

Not sure where you’re going to get all this growth from when everyone is skint.

Or if everybody stops buying things because of the uncertainty of credit, and saves their cash instead.

This was the advice I had. Cos I’ve got a high LTV better to remortgage after two years with more equity. Ah well.

Similar for me but a couple of months ago, when I signed up to a new 5 year fixed rate….has saved me over £100 a month already.

I don’t think anyone could have predicted we could have had an even bigger arsehole in charge than the last one, but the Tory’s have nailed it!

I just hope people don’t have short memories and remember the corruption, the sleaze, the lies, the destruction of the economy, and sheer ineptness and keep this lot out of government for many years to come at the next election.

Looking at the news tonight Is frightening. They really are touching our economy. My only regret is I didn't do it months ago and I could have saved even more.

They will lose the next election but the problem is Labour will have to raise taxes and will not be able to fix this horrific mess in 4 years so everyone will be saying they can't be trusted on the economy and so we can look forward to another 12 years of the 'responsible' tories.

Pretty obvious there isn't a plan and they've given themselves 6 weeks to come up with one. Its a bit like Wasps and there constant 'everything will be fine' statements.

I remember in the ERM when interest rates were escalating every hour getting to 16% in the end

This is tame. It will stabilise soon enough

Interest rates same question
