My broker has given us a rate of 8.1 % and one mortgage broker i have talked with recently said the last 10 days have been brutal and the best they have seen is about 7%. What rates have you seen?

Who is lending 25 years to a 50 year old? That alone would drive up the risk and rate.

It's not an unusual time scale at all, why the surprise?

Delusion

. I think it clear which side the delusion in on here. People are giving you a warning not to join the ranks of the Pepper mortgage prisoners. Subprime lender make money by locking in those that do pay in at high rates and aggressively repossessing on those that don't pay

do you guys have a campaign about Pepper?
‘pepper mortgage prisoners’ are you for real, this must be a joke! If not geeze you all need to chill out!
I haven’t mentioned a word about going with pepper just what my broker has said, yet you’re all rattled over something so small
if someone’s house is repossessed that’s on them
move on from my post if you guys are upset and bothered by this. Delusion

There’s nothing wrong with pepper they serve a purpose in the market.

I let you know there’s downsides for a long term in your specific situation as you’ve detailed it here and also let you know there’s other lenders you can hopefully get a cheaper rate with but you’ve taken it as a personal attack

although I do so admire your check the brain at the door strategy

I’ve said your advice isn’t something I’d take so I’m not going to start now
you ‘ give advice ‘ then leave a shitty insult after, really quite bizarre
I’ve never felt you’ve personally attacked me, I’m not upset like you’ve claimed, I’ve said to you I don’t rate your advice and leave MY post if you’re upset that much which clearly you are…
i remember girls at school like you…

Ok - lets just tell you want you want to hear. "Yeap, nearly 9% is a great rate for a mortgage!"

Nope not insulted you, nope.

I’ve corrected you and another poster about the factual inaccuracies of some comments.

info is info and you can do with it what you will. It’s pointless comparing a rate from a specialist to a highstreet bank because it’s obviously more expensive. Best of luck to you

In the not too distant it probably will be IMO.
