Originally posted by russell View PostWe got a One Account mortgage, which is perfect for contracting, you can pay as much or as little as you want as long as its paid before the end of term (25 years).

When I was thinking of starting it, two different IFAs tried to tell me it was a bad idea... I wish I could remember all the bulls**t reasons they gave but the truth was there was no commission for them, and no chance of me changing it again later to one of their products.
The long and the short of it is, I hope interest rates go up now for my savings.Last edited by Doggy Styles; 2 December 2011, 16:04.Comment
