LONDON, ENGLAND, November 24, 2011 (Press-News.org) HSBC today (24th Nov 2011) launches its first-ever sub 4% interest rate for mortgage borrowers with a 10% deposit - a 3.84% two-year discount deal with no fee to pay.

In addition to great variable rates, HSBC continues to offer two-year and five-year fixed rates at 85% and 90% LTV fee-free.

Peter Dockar, Head of Mortgages at HSBC, said: 'We are committed to supporting first time buyers and last month we pledged to make a further GBP350m available to borrowers with equity or a deposit of 10-15% by the end of the year.

'We recognise that first time buyers need help so as well as great rates with no fee options we offer our customers a free mortgage advice service in branch to help them get the right deal for them.'

As well as helping customers with a smaller deposit to get on the housing ladder, HSBC continues to offer attractive deals for those with a larger deposit.

Customers with a 40% deposit can enjoy the following great rates launched today:

- 2.39% lifetime tracker - current pay rate 2.89% (GBP999 booking fee. Valuation fee and completion fee payable).
- 3.28% five-year-fixed (GBP1,999 booking fee. Valuation fee and completion fee payable).

They call it 'guppy love': UCLA biologists solve an evolution mystery

2011-11-24

Guppies in the wild have evolved over at least half-a-million years — long enough for the males' coloration to have changed dramatically. Yet a characteristic orange patch on male guppies has remained remarkably stable, though it could have become redder or more yellow. Why has it stayed the same hue of orange over such a long period of time? Because that's the color female guppies prefer. "Sometimes populations have to evolve just to stay the same," said Greg Grether, a UCLA professor of ecology and evolutionary biology and co-author of a study published Nov. 23 ...

Researchers surprised to find fatty liver disease poses no excess risk for death

2011-11-24

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common condition associated with obesity and heart disease long thought to undermine health and longevity.

Hopkins scientists turn on fountain of youth in yeast

2011-11-24

Collaborations between Johns Hopkins and National Taiwan University researchers have successfully manipulated the life span of common, single-celled yeast organisms by figuring out how to remove and restore protein functions related to yeast aging. A chemical variation of a "fuel-gauge" enzyme that senses energy in yeast acts like a life span clock: It is present in young organisms and progressively diminished as yeast cells age. In a report in the September 16 edition of Cell, the scientists describe their identification of a new level of regulation of this age-related ...

2011-11-24

Most females adjust their movements to compensate for the extreme physical changes that accompany the later stages of pregnancy.
