| | MARTIN'S QUICK BRIEFING: For more tips, alerts & awful puns, follow Martin on Twitter Warning: Remortgage ASAP or lose chance?
RATES AT HISTORIC LOWS, EG, 5YR FIX 1.99% - SAVE £1,000s a YEAR
Yet new EU rules due soon may kill many people's ability to switch The world downturn has a silver lining for existing mortgage holders as remortgage rates (where you switch mortgage to save) are rock-bottom. EVERYONE check now if they can save, as changes are afoot. This is most crucial for the four in 10 who pay the SVR (standard variable rate). These average 4.9% but can be 6%. Savings can be huge as MoneySavers have found... Damian: "Followed your remortgage tips & formula; now pay £431/mth less." Jan: "Thank you. Reduced payment by £600/mth and now paying that extra into mortgage so we'll be clear in 15 years, reduced from 20 years." Sarah: "We saved £500/mth by remortgaging to a new 5yr fix. Saving £30K in 5 years. It was a painful experience but would recommend the pain." Yet don't linger, as I explain below, it is far from certain the availability of cheap deals will be around in future times... | 1. | Check your current deal. A mortgage is the biggest expenditure most people have, so I'm always slightly surprised that when asked not everyone knows their rate and details. So check now that you know...
a. The current rate: And monthly repayment & amount outstanding.
b. Type: Is it a fix, discount, tracker or on an SVR?
c. Deal deadline: If it's a short-term deal (eg, a 2yr fix), when does it end?
d. Term: How long is the term, eg, 25yrs, and when will it be fully repaid?
e. Penalties: Are there any early-repayment penalties?
f. Your loan-to-value (LTV): The proportion of your home's current value you are borrowing. Eg, £80,000 outstanding on a £100,000 property is an 80% LTV. The lower the LTV, the better deal you can get. So if your home has increased in value you may gain. See LTV help for full info.
Everyone should check, but not everyone can save by remortgaging (shifting to a better deal). Yet armed with information, you can then see if a better deal is available. For more help, or if you don't understand this, get my FREE 60-page MSE Remortgage Booklet 2015, (either instant PDF or order printed copy. | | | | | 2. |  New EU rules may create mortgage prisoners. It's now a year since new 'affordability checks' were introduced. In general, I'm a fan, as they ensure people don't push their finances too far to get a home, and end up repossessed.
Yet for a year now I've had tweets from people such as mcrhyshammer, whose cheap remortgage was rejected, because they fail affordability checks: "Circs hadn't changed. No missed payments. No debts bar new cars. £90k equity. Yet no one'd give us a mortgage." In other words, ridiculously, people are being told YOU CAN'T AFFORD A CHEAPER DEAL. Tweet me if this happened to you.
Lenders can currently waive affordability criteria on remortgages where you're not increasing the borrowing, but only a few smaller lenders do (see point 7 for how to navigate that).
I've lobbied against this already, yet soon it gets worse, the new EU 'Mortgage Credit Directive' won't allow lenders to waive affordability checks. It officially starts in March 2016, but can be brought in from Sep. While the EU has given us some good financial protection, this is bonkers and needs reversing. See EU remortgage rules could create mortgage prisoners. | | | | 3. | Benchmark your cheapest deal at speed. Mortgage rates are at historic lows. Yet many factors affect your cheapest deal. To help we've our... Mortgage Best Buy Comparison Tools
Remortgages | Moving home | First-time buyers The table shows the type of rates out there. I've added in the average SVR so you can see the savings possible.
| What's out there right now? Some example deals | | Deal | Rate | Fee | Annual cost during deal term (incl fee) on £150k (i) | | Typical SVR rate (for comparison) | 4.9% | N/A | £10,416 | | FIX 2yr at 65% LTV | 1.18% | £1,499 | £7,686 | | FIX 2yr at 85% LTV | 2.14% | £1,675 | £8,590 | | FIX 5yr at 60% LTV | 1.99% | £1,499 | £7,920 | | FIX 5yr at 85% LTV | 3.19% | £1,675 | £9,047 | | TRACKER 2yr at 60% LTV | 1.09% | £1,995 | £7,862 | | TRACKER 2yr at 85% LTV | 1.75% | £995 | £7,902 | | (i) Fee spread across the deal period plus the repayments, assuming 25yr term |
| | | | 4. | It's not just about the rate - how to factor in the fees. The smaller your mortgage, the bigger the impact fees will have, especially for mortgages under £100,000. This can totally skew which is cheapest for you.
To assess this, spread the cost of the fees over the fixed or tracker period (as after that you may shift again to another new deal). To help, use the MSE Mortgage Total Cost Comparison within our best buys comparison, which factors in both fee and rate so you can see which really adds up. | | | | 5. | How much can you save? Now you know your rate and what's out there. Our mortgage calculators allow you to work out the potential savings...

Nine tools to home in on the right answer for you, including...
Basic Mortgage Calc | Compare Two Mortgages | Mortgage Overpay Calc Compare Fixed Mortgages | Ditch Your Current Fix? | | | | | 6. | Two things that kibosh applications. The days when lenders flung out deals to all and sundry are long gone. Getting accepted is now a challenge, and when possible you should start preparing months ahead.
- Is your credit score good enough? Key tips include: a) Never withdraw cash on credit cards; b) Avoid payday loans; c) Avoid other applications, eg, credit card, contract mobile, just before applying; and d) Check your credit file for errors. This is the tip of the iceberg. See 35 Credit Boosting Tips.
- Affordability checks. As noted above, for the last year, lenders have had to stress-test whether your mortgage is affordable, even if rates were 6-7%. So you might not have been affected by it when you first got a mortgage, but now they'll want evidence of income, big bills, expenses - even eating out. So being frugal in advance helps. See affordability help. | | | | 7. | Mortgage brokers can help boost acceptance. You can, and often should, use a broker to help you find the right deal. They've info that's not available to consumers, eg, lenders' credit and affordability criteria. So a good broker can ease acceptance by matching you to the right deal - and the mortgage interview's quicker too. See Top Mortgage Brokers for full info.
Some lenders, such as Yorkshire BS, Tesco Bank and HSBC, mainly only sell mortgages direct to the public, cutting brokers out. Thus brokers are allowed to exclude them, and some do, hence why using a broker in conjunction with our mortgage comparison, which includes all these deals, is the right route. | | | | 8. | Should I get a fix or tracker/discount? With a fixed mortgage, the amount you repay is, er, fixed so it's like buying an insurance policy against possible rate rises. Variable deals move with UK interest rates (sometimes just at the provider's whim). Currently you only pay a touch more to fix.
It's very difficult to predict future interest rate moves. Even top economists are singing a different tune now from a year ago, and there's even the possibility they may fall before that. So focus on your own situation.
The more crucial the security of knowing exactly what you'll pay, the more you should edge towards fixing (& fixing longer). If cracking the rock-bottom deal's your driver, edge to short-term trackers. Fix v Variable help. | | | | | 9. | Got savings? They could get you a better mortgage. At every 5% LTV threshold from 95% down to 60%, deals tend to get better, so a little savings can have a big impact on your mortgage rate. For example...
Imagine you've a £150,000 home, and want a £128,500 remortgage. That's a 85.7% LTV, so the top 5yr fix is 3.59%. Yet if you use £1,100 of savings to reduce the borrowing needed, you'd cross a threshold and be at just under 85%, where the top 5yr fix is 3.19%. This would save almost £400/year in mortgage payments alone.

New. 3-YEAR 0% debt shift plus £15 cashback
The top card just got better. Take advantage of a PRICE WAR to slash debt costs by £100s or even £1,000s A balance transfer is where you get a new card that pays off old card(s) for you, so you now owe it at a lower rate. Therefore more of your repayments clear the actual debt, getting you debt-free far more quickly & cheaply. - New. Improved longest 0% deal. Accepted new Barclaycard* (eligibility calculator) cardholders can shift debt to it for up to 36mths 0% for a one-off fee of 2.99% of the amount transferred. Yet apply by 4 May and it gives £15 cashback if you transfer £1,000+ within 60 days. This effectively reduces the fee to 1.49% on £1k, or 2.49% on £3k.
We say 'up to' 36mths as, like many other cards, it gives some who are accepted a shorter 0% period (based on credit score). Sadly, the only way to know is to apply. Anecdotally though, it seems the higher your score in our eligibility calculator (which doesn't affect your credit score), the more chance you have of getting the headline 0%. - The Balance Transfer Golden Rules. It's not just about picking the right card, it's about using it the right way...
a) Don't just apply in hope as that marks your credit file. Use our Eligibility Calc to find your best chance first.
b) Never miss min monthly repayments, or the bank can end your 0% deal and charge far more.
c) Clear the card or transfer again before the 0% ends, or the rate rockets to the rep APR.
d) Don't spend/withdraw cash on these. It usually isn't at the cheap rate & cash withdrawals hit your credit file.
e) Unsure what to pick? Use our Which Card Is Cheapest? tool. Full help in Best Balance Transfers (APR Examples).

New. Line rent AND broadband £12/mth (with BT, line rent alone's £17/mth)
Save £100s a year on the cheapest SIMPLE deal in a long time. Just pay £12 each month for line rent and b'band Cheap deals are often convoluted & complex, eg, pay a year upfront, voucher reclaims etc. This is simple, you pay £12/mth. So costing £144 over a year, it compares well to BT's standard line rent & b'band at £360/yr, or Virgin at £410.  New. Pay £12/mth get line rent & broadband. SSE is known as an energy firm, but like British Gas, it's been stretching its 'home services' reach into telecoms for years. Now it's launched a rip-roaring deal to gain market share. Its Everyday Broadband + Talk Weekend* package is dirt cheap until 16 Sep. Here are the key details...
- Line rent: You pay £12/mth on a 12mth contract.
- 'Free' unlimited broadband (avail to 95% of the UK): For TWO YEARS it's 'free' if you pay line rent but you can cancel after 18mths. Cancel between 12 and 18 mths (ie, when the line rental contract is up) and it's £4/mth until the 18mth point.
- Calls: Unlimited weekend calls to UK landlines (max 70mins per call), and up to 1,000 'free' mins/mth to 0845 & 0870 numbers. Other call costs to UK phones are a touch lower than BT. Full call cost info. Rack up £200+ of unbilled call charges it'll stop you making calls.
- Need line installation? This works via a standard phone line. If you don't have one or only have a cable one (or in a few cases other lines), installation's £37. It'll tell you before you commit.
- 'Free' internet security software. Incl antivirus & firewall. After 18mths it's £2/mth if you don't cancel.
- It's easier if you have your MAC code. At some stage you'll need give it your Migration Authorisation Code - you'll need to call your existing provider to get it. It's easier if you do that at sign up, but you can leave it till later if you choose.
- How's its service? It's always been a small player, so we've little data - not necessarily a bad thing as if people were screaming about it we're likely to have heard - so a bit of a leap of faith is needed. Yet this is a very sizeable firm with serious resources. The underlying line used is 'BT Openreach'; the same as most firms so that shouldn't be an issue (well, no more than others). You have a 14-day cooling off period from sign-up if it goes wrong.
- Cheap alternative: Pay £288 for 18mths and get a £75 high st vch with TalkTalk. SSE is £216 over 18mths, while this TalkTalk Simply Broadband 18mth deal is £288 all-in over 18mths but you get a £75 Love2Shop voucher back (spendable at Argos/Boots etc). More options incl superfast in Cheap Broadband.

Walk round your home asking: "Have I used it in the last year?". If not, why not get rid? Our 40+ eBay Selling Tricks also helps you sell anything.

See things you never thought'd sell.  eBay selling tricks & tools. The 40+ eBay Tricks are the key shortcuts, etiquette and hidden tools that turn you into a powerhouse seller. Here are 5 opening bids...
1. Create multiple listings in advance. With bulk-upload tools, you can save and edit draft listings at your leisure making it far easier to schedule when they go live.
2. Time it right. You want auctions to end at times of peak traffic, eg, Sunday eve. This means more bids at the crucial moment. See eBay's busiest time info.
3. Find key search terms. This eBay pulse tool, shows you what terms buyers search so you can hone your listings.
4. Avoid 1- or 3-day auctions. The longer your ad's up, the more people will spot it, so opt for longer auctions.
5. Tweak start prices. Modest start prices can spark more bidding, but the risk is it'll sell for the knock-down price.
- eBay isn't the only fruit. Auction sites eBid and CQout* are smaller but allow users to list items for free, instead taking a cut of the sale price. Plus many MoneySavers rave about local classified sites, Preloved* and Gumtree.

| Q: I'm a couple of years into my mortgage. I've paid more than £35,000, but my debt has only come down by a few £1,000s. I know there's interest, but why have I not made much inroad into the actual debt? Deirdre, via email. MSE Guy's A: On a repayment mortgage, in most cases at the start, your lender calculates a monthly payment for you that’s the same for every month of that introductory offer period (eg, 2 years on a 2-year fix). It then calculates the remaining payments which are the same for all remaining months of the full term (eg, 25 years). In the early years, your outstanding debt is larger so there's more interest charged, so more of your monthly repayments go towards paying the interest. As the debt reduces, so too does the interest charged, and as you pay the same each month it means more of your repayment goes towards paying off the debt. Look at this example. On a 25 year, £150,000 mortgage at 3%, you pay about £710/mth (so £8,520/yr). In the first year your debt only reduces by just over £4,000, but in year 10 it falls by about £5,400, while in year 20 it falls by about £7,200. See our Ultimate Mortgage Calculator for how much a mortgage costs and how the interest is paid off over the term. Please suggest a question of the week (we can't reply to individual emails). |
