    Oracleslave, I think you'll find that other lenders will lend you more than £250k.

    What's that? DimPrawn was talking about HSBC? How do you know if he didn't mention them specifically?

    You asked if arrangement fees were paid up front. I merely pointed out not for all lenders.

    Remind me again what the title of this thread is?

    Oh yes it's " Mortgage worries? HSBC will match the low rates.... "

    So there is no enterest on the arrangement fee.

    Boomed! See I told you. Apart from the max loan is £250K and you must have at least 20% equity in you home to qualify.

    Glad my mortgage is only £300, and that's how much I owe on it...
