Remortgage client locks into 3.99% ten-year fix
Our client asked us to provide her with remortgage options as her fixed rate deal was coming to an end. She wanted to lock into a long term fixed rate to protect her from future increases to the Bank of England base rate.
Case details and solution
As there is a range of longer term fixed rates available at the moment, there were a lot of options. We presented her with five and ten-year fixed rates.
After going through the mortgages and explaining the benefits of each, she was keen to switch banks and secure a competitive ten-year deal.
