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.Abbey has launched a market-leading, fee-free three-year fixed mortgage at 5.99 per cent for existing current account customers who have only a 10 per cent deposit. To qualify, you must have had an Abbey or Alliance & Leicester current account for at least six months. But if you are eligible and are looking for a new mortgage, and need to borrow up to 90 per cent, then Abbey's three-year fix is worth considering.
The most competitive mortgage deals are still only available to those with large deposits, in some instances as much as 40 per cent, but we are seeing an increase in the number of providers offering loans up to 90 per cent.
Abbey's three-year fix is only available to customers who are buying a property, not remortgaging. There is no arrangement fee and borrowers also receive £250 cashback and a free valuation.
If you don't bank with Abbey or A&L and are looking to borrow up to 90 per cent and fix your mortgage payments, Clydesdale Bank also has a three-year fix at 5.99 per cent, although there is a £599 arrangement fee.
