Today, 1.10 pm Interesting.  Fancy bumping a bit of your savings into my fees? 😁 
Today, 1.08 pm Ours went down too, no real changes and didn't do any different business than normal or pull out of any markets.
Today, 1.05 pm Was there a reason they went down? Did your turnover drop or pull out of a particular market for example? 
Today, 12.58 pm Has two years accounts. £18053 then latest £36426. My research so far shows Gen H as giving the maximum based on latest figure. Rates are horrendous. Wants to buy leasehold flat. GR £300 per year Service chrge £1120. Child maintenence £250 pm. Any other lender that I h...
Today, 12.49 pm I think we would all be happier if we knew what the money was being spent on, maybe a little like council tax bills where it breaks it down to say X amount was spent on Y etc.  Our fees thankfully went down slightly this year but are still very high when we have no idea what we are paying for!...
Today, 12.36 pm Dont all be going shy now! 
Today, 12.15 pm How did you get on??  
Today, 11.15 am Just to say thank you for your replies.  Of the two lenders stated, Metro is a possibility, will be at underwriter's discretion (I tend to prefer a 'no' rather than submitting applications to subsequently get a 'no') but Skipton is a definite 'yes' (of course subjec...
Today, 11.02 am Barclays won't take the benefit/CHB at that age tho (16yo)
Today, 9.49 am Yep, exactly that.   I contact all clients exactly 6 months out from their rate expiring, advise them all to get a rate secured immediately.   If rates go up, you're a hero. If they go down, you can deliver the good news.

Today, 1.23 pm Frances Haque, Chief Economist at Santander UK, commented: "While data from earlier in the week raised some concerns around rising inflation and a loose labour market, stable unemployment figures and private sector pay growth meant the Bank had some scope to wait before raising rates in today's mee...
Today, 1.21 pm Melanie Spencer, growth director at Target Group, said: “Today’s decision to hold was widely expected. With oil prices rising in response to the Iran conflict, and inflation running hot as a result, the Bank of England had no room to cut and every reason to keep the door open to a rise ...
Today, 1.20 pm Following the Bank of England's decision to hold base rate, Alex Beavis, Interim Director of Banking at LHV Bank, responds: “The Bank of England has resisted the pressure to increase base rate, against a backdrop of an expected increase in inflation, and that presents a challenge for savers w...
Today, 1.18 pm Richard Pike, sales and marketing director at Phoebus Software, said: "A decision by the Bank of England to hold the base rate was widely expected, even though inflation remains stubbornly above its 2% target. However, the path beyond this meeting is becoming much harder to read. The sharp rise in...
Today, 12.55 pm John Phillips, CEO of Just Mortgages and Spicerhaart, said: “Even with the news on inflation yesterday, a hold feels like the right call for now. For how much longer though is the crucial question. There seems to be no sign of peace or even a truce in the Iran war and while oil prices have ea...
Today, 12.53 pm Following today's Base Rate announcement from the Bank of England, Charles Resnick, Chief Finance Officer, Afin Bank, commented: “We remain in wait-and-see mode, so today’s decision to hold the Base Rate at 3.75% was completely expected and it is likely to remain unchanged for the rest ...
Today, 12.52 pm Richard Sexton, commercial director at Houzecheck said: “The Bank of England’s decision to hold Bank Rate reflects a housing market that remains caught between the need for greater affordability and continued economic uncertainty. For buyers, stability can be valuable in itself, but the...
Today, 12.50 pm Simon Webb, managing director of capital markets and finance at LiveMore: “While the Bank of England has held rates again, the outlook for borrowers is far from certain. With inflation now at 3.1%, and energy prices creating further uncertainty, there is a real risk that rates remain higher f...
Today, 12.49 pm Martin Sims, Distribution Director at Molo, commented: “A hold probably makes perfect sense when you look at everything the Bank is dealing with right now. Higher oil and energy costs are adding to inflation concerns, but there are signs of cooling in the labour market at the same time. Put t...
Today, 12.47 pm Duncan Kreeger, CEO of commercial mortgage lender and bridging specialist TAB, said: “The Bank of England was right to keep interest rates unchanged for the sixth month in a row - despite growing fears of an inflationary upsurge as oil prices climb. “Leaving borrowing costs at 3.75 per...
