Does RBS offer the best mortgage deals?
Our experts analysed hundreds of mortgages over a four-week period in July and August 2021. They compiled a total of 206 ‘top-10 cheapest deal’ tables based on a variety of borrowing scenarios, and counted how many times each lender featured in a table.
The average number of times a lender made it into a table was 24, but RBS featured just eight times, meaning it rarely offered market-leading deals in our scenarios. (Data source: Moneyfacts.)
