These are the criteria you should use. Don't make a decision based on interest rate alone.
Mortgages - UK interest rates are current at a 30-year low. Lenders are discounting their rates and offering special deals.
There are several additional costs that should be taken into consideration:
Estate agents fees: 1.5 to 1.75% of the eventual selling price. Solicitor's fees: A few hundred pounds. Stamp duty: Payable on properties over £60,000 – 1% being payable in tax, rising to 3% for properties of £250,000 or more. Removal Fees: You may decide to hire a van, or good removal firm will cost a couple of hundred pounds depending on the distance you are moving.
Mortgages - UK companies are constantly trying to get the biggest market share. Only so many mortgages are taken out in the UK each day. When a mortgage company starts to lose its market share it approaches independent consultants with better interest rate and deals. You would not really be aware of this as it is changing constantly. Use an independent mortgages UK agent to find these products for you.

Some people can't grasp the meaning of large sums of money. They take months to buy a fridge, but flog out £217,000 on a whim. It's a buzz! Reason goes out the window. They may have been in a dead-end job before, and now they're going to realise their dream, be Jiminy! This is human nature. £10.70 is easier to grasp that £100,070. Now is the time to get out pen, paper and calculator and do some sums. What's the worst that could happen? Do you have a contingency plan? Do you have health insurance, some money put away for a rainy day, is the kids’ education sorted out for the future?
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
