To be fair, most car sales happen to such dubious marketing. Go outside a BMW Mini sales room and there is a very large 199 per rmonth advertisement to entice the muppets who just think that suddenly they are able to afford a Mini. What they dont realise is that if they could afford it, they would have had the cash stashed from saving that amount every month for the past few years.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

Wasn't that great.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostHSBC launch the lowest ever 5 year fixed rate mortgage in history on Monday. Incredibly good deal for a 5 year fix.
HSBC launches first sub-2% five-year fixed mortgage | Money | The Guardian
So I headed into the local branch of HSBC this morning to have a chat, and lo and behold, they didn't know a bloody thing about it!
So great marketing HSBC, you tell the world, but not your own staff.
It has a limit of 500k. I wanted to borrow 650K and so they split it over two mortgage applications with two different rates. Overpayment was 20% per month(of your monthly payment), which you had to do each month, so therefore no bulk overpay. Only give you interest only, if you join their bank and pay all your wages in, and then only if you put down 40% and have a separate repayment vehicle, which was not your house.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
