Dropping the cap
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 NATIONAL & Provincial fix has no compulsory insurance. The redemption penalty is six months' interest.
The capped rate from Royal Bank of Scotland requires borrowers to start payments at 8.99 per cent. The rate will only drop as the variable rate falls and by the same amount, so there will always be a premium over the variable rate - but the rate will never rise above 8.99 per cent for the term of the cap.
Berry Birch and Noble has a three-year fix at 6.75 per cent for loans up to 85 per cent of value.
National Westminster Bank has a new range of discounts off its variable 7.74 per cent rate.
For instance, those with a 25 per cent discount borrowing pounds 60,000 to pounds 120,000 get a 4 per cent discount bringing the rate down to 3.74 per cent, while a borrower with a smaller deposit borrowing the same sum gets a 2.25 per cent discount.
