Question time related, is it plausible that someone who was offered 4.5% Friday would now only be 10.4% today?
I've not started watching QT yet and have it on record for tomorrow but I find that very doubtful. A jump to those rates would likely mean heavy adverse wtg a specialist lender, but those deals would never have been 4.5% on Friday.Question time related, is it plausible that someone who was offered 4.5% Friday would now only be 10.4% today?
Think both sides have plants on these shows hahaI've not started watching QT yet and have it on record for tomorrow but I find that very doubtful. A jump to those rates would likely mean heavy adverse wtg a specialist lender, but those deals would never have been 4.5% on Friday.
Only plausible explanation I can think of is that a 4.5% mortgage offer with a specialist lender was obtained 6 months ago, which could have been possible then, but it's expired and the rates for a similar product now are much higher. Still sceptical of 10.5% though, will check my sourcing system in the morning.
Could well be, will be interesting to watch tomorrow. For what it's worth, while mortgage availability has dropped dramatically there are a number of lenders launching new products tomorrow and Monday. It's likely these will be around the 5% to 6% range for prime lending with a decent deposit so the rates are effectively around 4 times higher than they were at the turn of the year.Think both sides have plants on these shows haha
Ha yes, I was securing someone 0.99 in October last year on there rate switch. Tomorrow it will be around 5.5%Could well be, will be interesting to watch tomorrow.

I managed to get a client a product switch with Barclays yesterday at 3.62% which was streets ahead of anything with other lenders.Ha yes, I was securing someone 0.99 in October last year on there rate switch. Tomorrow it will be around 5.5%

That’s 100%. The audience finder for QT is an ex UKIP member and somehow always seems to find a bus load of Daily Express readers to fill the seats. The audience never reflects the consensus. It’s why I no longer watch the charade especially now Fiona Bruce is conducting affairs.Think both sides have plants on these shows haha
I think QT has gone down the same route as much of our politics now, whereby entertainment and personality is deemed more important than factual content and intelligent debate.That’s 100%.

Not even sure its that Pak. Because the BBC have to be impartial and give equal airtime to both sides of the political spectrum on every issue when you get such a deeply unpopular position like we have now it feels particularly frustrating to witness so many back the tax cuts in Manchester. We know they have been bussed in from outside the area to participate. There are few personalities anymore. Lots of chinless wonders.I think QT has gone down the same route as much of our politics now, whereby entertainment and personality is deemed more important than factual content and intelligent debate.
The economist editor said the Labour love in needed to calm down and Fiona Bruce was chuckling away to herself so can understand. First one I’ve watched for a while to be honestThat’s 100%.
