HSBC: Moneysupermarket.com on HSBC's mortgage range

HSBC head of mortgages Martijn van der Heijden said: "We would whole-heartedly agree that home buyers should shop around and compare the market because more often than not in recent months they would have come to HSBC. This week we were named as the UK's most competitive mortgage provider for the first half of 2008 by Mform.co.uk because we have been offering best buys more regularly and more consistently than any other lender. Home buyers should definitely look beyond the 4.99% in our branch windows. In fact, they should come inside to talk to one of our mortgage advisers about the range of competitive mortgages we are offering."
