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.NATIONWIDE has increased the discounts on variable rate mortgages. Those with a 40 per cent deposit get a discount of 4.59 per cent for a year. Borrowers with 5 to 10 per cent gain 3.75 per cent and those with at least a 5 per cent deposit get a cashback as well.
Northern Rock has computed the savings using discounts, cashbacks and free valuations on offer. For a first-time buyer taking a 95 per cent loan of pounds 30,000, the highest saving of pounds 1,507 comes from Alliance & Leicester and the lowest of pounds 359 from the Britannia. A next-time buyer taking a 75 per cent loan of pounds 60,000 would save pounds 3,455 with Northern Rock, pounds 2,875 with Nationwide and pounds 2,815 with the Leeds, but just pounds 1,785 with the Britannia.
Northern Rock, Woolwich and Leeds score best for 80 per cent remortgages of pounds 50,000.
