PQR-
That's almost certainly not the actual overall cost though.
First Direct 3 year rate for <65% is 1.68% but that's just the daily rate they use to calculate interest. The APR is 3.3% over the term.
HSBCs best 5yr fixed is 1.99% but 2.9% APR. It also includes a cap of 20% on monthly repayments. First Direct is unlimited.

First Direct have some good deals at the moment (assuming you're below 65% ltv).
