There was also a seasonal decline in April due to the Easter period. Despite this, gross lending amounts remain in line with the forecast made by CML for 2010 as a whole.

Research carried out by Money Supermarket, has identified that the number of five-year fixed mortgage deals available in the marketplace have increased ten-fold since April 2007. The firm has identified that three years ago, there were only 39 five-year fixed products available, compared to the 411 different types of five-year fixed products available now. At the same time, there has been a significant decrease in the number of two-year fixed rate deals available - 3,767 to 612. The number of three-year fixed rate deals has fallen from 2,398 to 449.

The research shows that although there are a larger number of five-year fixed rate products available in the marketplace, some customers, especially customers who are re-mortgaging, may find that in three years time they want to move houses, however, if they are stuck in a five-year fixed deal, they will find that they will need to pay penalty fees for getting out of the fixed deal early. As a result, these types of customers are looking more closely at two-year fixed rate deals as they may appear to be more attractive.

If you are looking to find the best deal available in the marketplace, then the best thing is not to limit yourself when it comes to options. Instead, look for a whole of market broker and get to find out about deals from as wide a range of lenders as possible.

Should Dodd be impeached for taking a sweetheart mortgage deal during the time that he failed to oversight biz?

We suffered through a major financial collapse due to congressional failure to oversight the mortgage market which polluted all sorts of investment assets and triggered a selling rush that left our GDP in a multi-trillion dollar hole. Should he be impeached by the citizens of the United States right away? Is there a petition somewhere to get this done!?

Answer
They should send him & his cancer to unemployment hell. Sorry but I REALLY hate corrupt politicians, especially the self-righteous, sanctimonious and hypocritical ones. If I had my way, I'd have them all tried for treason after they are impeached. They ARE BETRAYING their oath of office when they take a bribe or a kick-back.
