    Mortgage rates

    Looking to switch providers as my rate is a bit high, will be 70% LTV, ideally would like a offset or way overpaying, but rate is more important. Currently with One Account

      Mortgage and you Call yourself a contractor?

      If you are on the one account's 4% I actually doubt you'll get much better. First direct would be the same.

        Looks like the best rate is around 3% considering the base rate is so low why the hell can't I get a 2% mortgage.

          I have a 0.98% mortgage. In fact, I'd pretty much paid mine off, but decided to buy some BTL as I could borrow so low. Boomed.

            How did you manage to continue your mortgage rate to finance your BTL? Didn't they insist on a new mortgage?

              I think I'm on the same deal with Santander. We have been overpaying ours by twice the monthly amount for a while. once I get it down to about 50k I'll use the cheap money it gives me to give a hefty deposit on a buy to let down here..

              Not sure if you are allowed to run a buy to let that you will be letting to your other company - Me!
              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!

                Offset. I just took the money out of the offset account & bought a house for cash.

                Then all the rest I've tied up in ISAs & Bonds at a higher interest rate.
