Choice of discount or a fix
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.NORWICH and Peterborough Building Society has two mortgage schemes giving borrowers the choice between a discount or a similar-sized fix on their loans.
The discounted scheme offers 3 per cent off the society's current 7.89 per cent variable rate until 1 January 1996, with no extra fees. The fix is at 4.99 per cent to the same date. A pounds 125 fee is charged.
Any choice depends on borrowers' expectations whether mortgage rates will rise significantly over that period. If they do, a fix is cheaper.
Bradford & Bingley has improved its range of discounted mortgages, with 4.8 per cent off the variable rate of 7.74 per cent for 12 months on loans up to 75 per cent of value.
National Counties Building Society offers a mortgage fixed at 7.25 per cent until October 1997, with no buildings or contents insurance required. There is a pounds 275 reservation fee.
