With a 10% deposit the best rate on the market is a variable rate of 2.79%, the best fixed for non first time buyers is 3.65% and the best rate from a lender who will take contract rate annualized is 3.79% which is fixed.Comment

It is 8pm this evening. Applications have to be submitted by then.Originally posted by Mark McBurney@CMME View Post2.99% 90% LTV rate being pulled imminently, possibly as soon as this evening.
Being replaced by rates 0.20% higher which are still market leading but obviously if you can get in before 8pm today you'll be 0.20% better off!Comment
