I have a mortgage with NRAM (previously Northern Rock before the world all went wrong).

I have received a letter from NRAM stating that my special rate will end soon, and as of 1st July will revert to their standard variable rate of 4.79%

The mortgage balance is approx £90k, property is worth (I think) around £120k

NRAM are currently closed to new mortgage business and are unable to offer new mortgages or further loans.

So...

Do I leave my mortgage with NRAM @ the standard variable rate, or look to remortgage with another lender?

Pro's & Con's ?
Do's & Don'ts ?

Thanks

At that rate look to change providers, you could save 1.5% per year by doing so (£1350 or over a hundred a month). This is the answer unless there are some crazy high transfer/closing fees.

i've never seen a mortgauge with exit fees after the special rate has finished

If you're happy with a variable rate, there's better to go for - I think hsbc to a bank + 1.5%
