A Happy New Year to all our existing and potential customers/clients (whatever you prefer) It is said only solicitors and tarts have clients!

We are still here after all the chaos within the financial sector and in particular the mortgage market. Good advice remains as important as ever.

Base rate is still at a record low, if you are currently on your lenders Standard Variable rate enjoy it while you can. We believe we are safe for a few months but perhaps not until the end of the year when it is predicted that rates will begin to rise. Once they do be prepared to move fast as rates go up far more quickly than they come down!

There are some excellent fixed rates available - if you would like to discuss your current position with a view to the future give us a call.

We would like to wish all our clients old and new a very Merry Christmas at the end of what has been a year of trouble and strife for the financial markets. Good, honest, friendly advice has never been more important even if it does just confirm that your current deal is the right one, or standard variable rate is the best for you!

Look forward to helping you in 2009.
