*ONE TO AVOID

Lloyds TSB's new Airmiles mortgage is probably not worth considering unless you're looking for a relatively small home loan. Although it's three-year fixed rate is competitive, there are better deals out there - and the 7,800 miles that you'll earn are only worth around 300 or 400. Although they'll buy you a return trip to Hong Kong or Delhi, remember that you'll still have to pay the taxes.
