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.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostWhat is this 'mortgage' you speak of Captain Kirk?Comment

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.Originally posted by russell View PostLooks like the best rate is around 3% considering the base rate is so low why the hell can't I get a 2% mortgage.

How did you manage to continue your mortgage rate to finance your BTL? Didn't they insist on a new mortgage?Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostI 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.

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!Comment
