Plus the best deals are disappearing as some mortgages are sold in tranches. This means a company will offer e.g. £100 million of mortgages at a set rate, then once thats gone do a new offer.

MONEY MORAL DILEMMA: Should Jack make free cash from his employer?
Jack works as an event planner. As part of his job, he often has to make purchases and already does it via a cashback card, so he gains before he claims back. Now he's realised that often he could buy the same things at the same price, through web cashback sites too (see Cashback sites article for details) earning even more back. Should he claim the cashback points for himself, since his employer won't be losing anything, or would this be cheating it?
