Adviser View
Mike Richards, director of London-based Mortgage Concepts, said: “The rates are very good but fees are quite high – it is a large percentage, especially for smaller loans. The cashback option tempts you on the rate then stings on the fee. For larger loans the fees are good. The fee-free deal on remortgages is not common, so very good.”
