Cheapest Tracker Mortgages
MyFinances investigates some of the cheapest tracker mortgages and discounted mortgages currently available in the market place for those who mortgage deals are about to end.
It is expected that mortgage interest rates will remain at the current 0.5 percent over the next 18 months, meaning fixed rate mortgages are not necessarily the best option and the cheapest tracker mortgages may make more sense. First time buyers have also seen some interesting discounted mortgages due to the stamp duty holiday which will come to and end in March 2012.
Independent mortgage lenders and brokers have provided the mortgage news for 22nd February 2012 and is delivered by one of the UK's best directories to find mortgage lenders and brokers in the UK.
