This information may be used by us or selected partners to advise you of other useful products or services that we feel you would be interested in. Our service is free to you but to operate this service we receive fees from the lenders or brokers we refer you to. There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The adviser is obliged to disclose to you the fee before providing the advice and the precise amount will depend upon your circumstances. We estimate that a typical fee will be 1% of the sum you borrow..

 

Depending on the type of mortgage you choose, you could benefit from these incentives from Abbey:

- No booking fees
- A free valuation (up to a property value of £2.5m)
- Great rates from only 5% deposit (3% for First Time Buyers)
- £250 towards your legal fees (you'll only ever have to pay this back if you pay off your mortgage in the first two years).
- Cashback options

We also recommend you to have a look at Cahoot Loans. Cahoot, Abbey's Internet bank, offers Cahoot flexible loans for those who would rather utilise the credit card method of borrowing and Cahoot Fixed Loan if you like to plan your borrowing.

If you prefer to know exactly what amount of money is coming out your account every month, then a fixed loan with Abbey Personal Loan could be the ideal product.
