Mortgages

BBC Radio 4 - Money Box Live, Mortgages

Financial phone-in answering listeners' questions about mortgages.

Looking for a mortgage? Whether you're buying your first home or you need to remortgage, Ruth Alexander and guests answered your questions.

With fixed and variable rate mortgages charging less than 2% which is the better bet?

What are the associated fees and how much will you need to pay in Stamp Duty?

What are the best deals for first time buyers? Halifax say that there's been a 50% rise in first-time buyers in the past two years due to low interest rates and the greater availability of loans requiring smaller deposits.

How will you be assessed and how do you find the most suitable mortgage for you?

Whatever your mortgage question, joining presenter Ruth Alexander to share their experience were:

Melanie Bien, Mortgage and Property Finance Expert.
Ray Boulger, Senior Technical Manager, John Charcol.
Kevin Gardiner, First Mortgage.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
