A lot of people are being uh
You know, are uh in an unusual situation they're coming out or about to come out of low interest uh fixed rates, low fixed rates and they decide what are we going to do here now?
If you're six months uh approaching the end of your fixed rate, now is the time to approach your bank and see if you can't get a better rate, line up something,
Even be prepared to to pay the break fee and see if you can't do something because
The last European Central Bank rate, the the the mainstream banks didn't push up fixed rates.
They didn't the you know, tracker rates went up.
One hundred and twenty th uh thousand people were impacted by that.
But they didn't move on the other rates.
But, you know, we may not be so lucky this time.
And certainly if there's a third interest rate uh rise this year, it's it's it's probably fairly c it's fairly certain that they they will move on fixed rates.
You know, they're trying to be competitive at the moment and they have cheap funding in terms of deposits.
But you know, it won't last forever.
So if you're smart, you'd be considering a switch, which is I know it's a complicated one.
You have to do conveyancing, you've got the house valued, you have to show all your um
Your your your wages and documents and stuff like that.
But you can save a lot of money because there are decent rates out there.
There's a gap of something like three percentage points between the highest and lowest interest rates in the market.
You know, m some of the interest rates are approaching six percent, but you can get three percent.
So try and get yourself something decent if you can.
Yeah, well there is a government this is the insurance industry trying to uh jump the gun a bit.
