A lack of interest
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE FALL in interest rates this week of just 0.25 of a percentage point caused barely a flutter in mortgage rates.
TSB dropped its variable rates by 0.19 per cent to 7.45 per cent and Kleinwort Benson cut the rate on its mortgage management rate from 7.49 to 7.25 per cent. Other lenders stayed put.
New offers and discounts include pounds 1,000 cash from Newcastle Building Society or free accident, sickness and unemployment insurance with a 7.6 per cent loan fixed until 2001. Fee is pounds 250 (pounds 350 for remortgages), with a six-month redemption penalty.
John Charcol has a 5 per cent discount until January for those borrowing up to 75 per cent of the value of the property, which brings the rate down to 2.75 per cent.
