Default Porkie / anyone financial (mortgages)

So go on then, the new mortage i just took out on a "lifetime tracker" at 0.49% above baserate, how badly have i been fucked over?

Went for the easy option, straight off my branch of lloyds, so im POSITIVE that there are better deals out there with the right company but TBH this one is on a rental property and i just wanted something i could sign for once and forget about from then on in.

What sort of rate should i have got so i know for next time?

I did have a quick look on there, couldnt find anything with a "discount for the whole term" that was significantly better.

In fact most of it is quite a lot WORSE than my high street lender, quite surprising really!

They are normally slightly higher rate anyway aren't they??

Thats what I'm doing next in two years time, although the thing I can't believe is how fooking long the mortgages take to process!! Been waiting a month and a half now, just changing mortgage. They haven't even been to value the coont yet!!!
