The research company Defaqto has now revealed research into the cheapest and most expensive mortgage lenders.
Whilst Egg and HSBC emerged as the cheapest lenders, Abbey National came out the most expensive.
Defaqto's commercial director said that the difference between the cheapest and most expensive was wide. He also said that with base rates remaining the same, competition between lenders was tough, meaning great deals to be had by borrowers that could take advantage of the deals on offer.
