Halifax Mortgages
The mortgages offered by Halifax Bank of Scotland (HBOS) are the most popular in Britain. More people have mortgages with them than anyone else.
Now that HBOS is part of Lloyds Banking Group, the combined bank will be far and away Britain's biggest mortgage lender and savings bank. It will have:
- over 30 million customers
- over £200bn in savings on deposit
- over £300bn out on loan to UK mortgage customers
For decades, Halifax's strength has been that it offers mortgages to suit almost every kind of applicant. It benefits from huge marketing power and strong links to the estate agency business. However, from your point of view, it won't be the most competitive lender in every mortgage category.
You can find out whether Halifax is competitive for you by speaking to an impartial adviser to get a whole of market comparison.
Halifax Mortgages In Detail
Halifax knows that low rates are a great attention-grabber, so it is used to offering mortgages under 3%.
The highest LTV Halifax currently offers is 95%, although mortgages at that level are only for existing customers wishing to remortgage.
However, Halifax offers 150 different mortgage deals in all—a huge range, and that's why it's difficult to compare them all, or say which is best, without help from an adviser!
Choosing a Halifax Mortgage
With such a big range available for comparison—not to mention the thousands of competitor products—we highly recommend speaking to an FSA-authorised mortgage adviser.
They compare the whole market for you, to make sure you don't miss the right deal.
What's more, they can do this in moments, whereas for most people it would take weeks! This is a no obligation service provided by Money Hospital to help you get a mortgage you're happy with.
