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 TSB's two-year capped rate mortgage is available for endowment, pension or repayment mortgages. Homebuyers start paying at 7.5 per cent and the rate will not rise any higher before January 1995 - but it can always go lower if rates drop. Existing endowment or pension policies are acceptable. Insurance is not compulsory.

So the 7.5 per cent capped rate beats 7.5 per cent fix, except that the fixed rate has no fee. Abbey National has just launched its first capped rate at 8.85 per cent until July 1995 with a pounds 250 fee. For a long-term fix the TSB has five years at 8.2 per cent with a fee of pounds 195 on endowment or repayments mortgages. The redemption penalty is three months interest during the fix.
