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.The cost of longer-term fixed rate mortgages rose this week by a few basis points. Mortgages of less that five years remained steady, writes Dido Sandler.
Discounted mortgages are popular, with fixed rates trailing behind, says Philip Cartwright of London and Country.
With the current dearth of new borrowers, most activity is in remortgaging. Mortgage providers turn down existing borrowers looking for bargain terms. Borrowers are looking instead to remortgage with other companies, where they can take advantage of preferential rates.
Borrowers with a £60,000 standard variable mortgage, valued at up to 75 per cent of the property, can save £85.56 a month for three years, by switching to Stroud and Swindon.
