Energy and mortgages relief for consumers

For consumers struggling to meet mortgage repayments combined with the rise in recent fuel bills, they will be pleased to know help is on the way thanks to a new service launched by comparethemarket.com, the price comparison site. Consumers can now search the site for excellent deals for their gas, electricity and mortgage.

As well as comparethemarket.com's existing portfolio which includes comparisons for insurance, credit cards, current accounts, savings accounts and loans, a number of services are now all under one roof, giving consumers greater choice, value for money and even more opportunities to keep the credit crunch at bay.

"With the recent economic turmoil combined with rising fuel and mortgage bills, consumers no doubt will be feeling the pinch and worried about the approaching winter. Now is as good a time as ever to re-evaluate suppliers to save money," said Jeremy Moll, Commercial Director, comparethemarket.com. "With our new products, not only can customers be assured that they will continue to get great deals, but with our mortgage service, they can access a wide selection of the mortgage market for free."

Gas and electricity

"With energy prices escalating, it is now more important than ever to regularly re-evaluate your energy supplier," said Jeremy. "It's easy to stick with the same supplier for years and also, if you move home, to accept the supplier already in place. But switching is easy to do and with comparethemarket.com, it's just a click away." comparethemarket.com compares over 11,000 gas and electricity tariffs from all major suppliers, helping consumers save money and make the right choice on home energy

Mortgages

"Don't leave it until the last minute to re-mortgage. You can secure a deal with a mortgage provider sometimes up to six months in advance and it definitely pays to research," commented Jeremy. comparethemarket.com's comparison site will continually monitor thousands of mortgage deals on the market.

The new products and services are available with immediate effect through comparethemarket.com.
