...check if I can slash £1,000s off the year's mortgage repayments
For those with decent equity in their house, the historically low UK base rate means lower LTV mortgages are super-cheap right now. So everyone check right now if you’re on the best deal. Use www.mse.me/mortgagebestbuy or MoneyFacts.co.uk to benchmark if you may be able to save.
Sadly, if you’re on furlough or self-employed grant it may be more difficult right now, but otherwise use a broker who’ll be able to home in on which lenders are most likely to accept you.
