Fixed rates are moving up
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.RATES on fixed-rate mortgages, particularly in the five-year bracket, have seen a significant rise over the past few days. Legal & General Mortgage Services' deal stands out and, although the cheapest rate is available to people who have deposits of at least 25 per cent to put down on their properties, there is also a rate of 7.75 per cent on loans of up to 90 per cent of a property's value. Another competitive fix is the two-year offer from Mercantile Building Society in North Shields, pegged at 6.5 per cent.
On variable rates, Northern Rock is offering a 3.01 per cent discount to 4.98 per cent on 75 per cent loans until 1 June next year. Borrowers of up to 90 per cent can get a 2.01 per cent discount, bringing the rate to 5.98 per cent, and 95 per cent borrowers get 0.75 per cent, giving a 7.24 per cent rate.
