I have a question for all the financially literate wizzes on this site.
I am currently shopping for a mortgage and have narrowed it down to HSBC - who offer 5% interest
and standard chartered - who offer a deposit system which reduces your interest payments by the amount you have in your savings account.
My question is this, as my savings are not high at the moment due to purchasing a property- would it be advisable/possible to go with HSBC for say 3 years at the 5 % interest then transfer my mortgage to the standard charteres mortgage one once i have built up enough savings.
just an idea i had
id also appreciate any advice on mortgages in general .
thank you all for your time
cheers

cheers for the reply
Apart from the solicitor fees i dont think there are any fees after 2-3 years.
The thing that worries me is the constant interest hiking. Thats why im wondering if its a good idea to ride the high interest rates over the next 3 years with a normal mortgage which offers a lower interest rate, then switch to Mortgage one when i have built my savings again ????
am I missing something crucial with this thinking?
