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.

ALREADY very competitive, the fixed-rate mortgage market has been undercut by 0.5 per cent by Newcastle Building Society's five-year 7.99 per cent fix. Woolwich offers the same rate on its three-year mortgage.

However, Newcastle tends not to offer its products where it has no office. Most borrowers in the South-east will not be able to take advantage of the offer. The usual arrangement fee of pounds 195 rises to pounds 295 for remortgages. The mortgage is fully portable and requires buildings and contents insurance.

Halifax has also relaunched its fixed-rate mortgages portfolio. First-time buyers can get rates of 6.5 per cent, fixed on 90 per cent mortgages, until 31 October 1994.
