A leading mortgage provider has advised borrowers to shop around for the best deals if they are to avoid running into repayment problems.
As this time of year proves to be a popular for those moving house, Nationwide has warned prospective customers to look carefully for good mortgage deals.
A spokesperson for the group said: "When people move house they spend considerable amounts of time choosing carpets and curtains but don't always pay as much attention to less visible but equally important elements."
