The range at DH1
Sorted by the figure you choose, and nothing else: not a recommendation. Each payment is a repayment mortgage over 30 years at the rate the lender publishes for this loan to value; after the deal, at the lender's variable rate today, which can change. The cost over the deal is its payments and the lender's stated fees, less any cashback, and the APRC is worked out the way the FCA sets for lenders. NewHomeSearch is not authorised by the FCA, does not give mortgage advice or arrange mortgages, and receives nothing from lenders. A mortgage is secured on your home. Lenders decide who they lend to and may lend less on some new homes, flats in particular: check every figure with the lender.
