Is it better now to get a fixed or inconsistent rate? Who's doing the best deals right now? And who can I trust?

It's much more difficult to qualify although housing prices are down and expected to stir lower.
Most of us are aware of the negative impact that the worldwide credit crunch has had on the financial market, affecting everything from mortgage lenders and unsecured lenders to credit card providers. Consumers have been artificial by the effects of the global credit crunch, with credit conditions becoming tight and access to nouns becoming more and more restricted.

If you can get a decent short occupancy tracker rate this might be a good bet, many lenders enjoy increased there tracker rates over the last week. If you prefer to know how to budget for your monthly mortgage payments and believe that interest rates will increase over the long term the a fixed rate deal may be a better bet. Most of my clients own been taking fixed rates as they like to be capable of budget for their mortgage payments.

Who can you trust, as far as the lenders are concerned you have to remember its them lending you the money of a contracted rate, not you abiding with them. If looking at a mortgage you will be best putting your trust in a independent mortgage tutor, but make sure you ask if the adviser covers the unharmed mortgage market or only a elected few lenders.

The bank have removed 100% deals and it's harder to gain a mortgage.

I'm not a mortgage/financial adviser so I won't answer whether a fixed or variable rate is best for you.

I would speak to a mortgage counsellor I did and I found him very helpful and explained to me roughly speaking the rates and found the best deal for me.
