Check out your options

  • Use our impartial comparison tables to help you compare mortgages from different lenders – see Compare mortgages.
  • Don't forget to:
    • compare the different fees and costs of getting the mortgage as well as the repayments;
    • check out the various features and options, such as repayment holidays and overpayments; and
    • consider the exit costs of the mortgage.
  • In some cases, mortgage payment protection insurance (PPI) might be a condition of your loan but you don't have to buy it from your lender so shop around for the best deal for you – see Compare PPI.

If you already have a mortgage, talk to your lender about what they can offer you.
