Scary stuff, our mortgage fixed rate runs out in 2 months, its at 7.35, our money is going to get a bit tighter methinks!

We have just got a 100% mortgage over 20 years at 8.65% for 2 1/2 yrs fixed.

Worked with a really great broker in Wellington who is the husband of the girl I work with. Very honest and very informed.
