Fool.co.uk Mortgage Website Review

If you’ve ever been in the market for a mortgage, you’re probably familiar with some of the bigger names in the business like Lending Tree, Yahoo! Finance, and Bankrate.com when it comes to researching the best rates, terms, and offers for mortgages out there. Of course, those make perfect sense when you’re talking about a mortgage in the United States but if you’re thinking about getting a mortgage in the UK, it would be a grave mistake to look at those three sites. In the UK, the Motley Fool has a UK version along with its own Fool.co.uk Mortgage Website where you can compare mortgage offers from numerous lenders easily.

The front page itself is as colorful as you probably expect any Motley Fool page to be and is chock full of useful resources. With a click of the button, you can look at all types of mortgages from fixed rate to buy-to-let to capped mortgages and compare offers across of them. One of the things I really like about these mortgage offer listings that I feel should be introduced in the United States is the Overall Cost for Comparison value, which is important when you’re comparing a bunch of variable/fixed offers - it’s an apples to apples comparison that you don’t get by comparing APR.

Lastly, I wouldn’t leave the site without requesting their free mortgage guide because it’s likely to be filled with lots of valuable information worth more than its asking price (free!).
