i got a 124k mortgage on a 140k house. Fixed rate of 5.59% for 2 years with no fees.

hopefully should hear if my offer is accepted today :)

The banks all offer fixed rates, just shop around. Halifax and chelt & Glous BS are good.

yeah colin

base it on uk average wage of 21K

Thats 63 for 3 times so 6 times is 126k - going to struggle even with that so thats why there so high

I wasn't comfortable lending so much so opted for just over 3

the 3.5x joint salary wont have changed, the apr rate will have went up & you might struggle to get a fixed rate deal.

just wondered if its changed, out of curiosity really

cheers
