Typical my 5 year fixed rate mortgage is up in November. i am guessing the bank probably charge a higher interest rate on a fixed rate mortgage, so with mine only being around £29,500 left to pay in November would i be better off with a tracker mortgage on renewal ? i did have the ability to make extra lump sum payments on this mortgage i would like to keep that on the new one. |

Well......
You could take the advice of a random stranger on a swingers site who may claim to have experience in the mortgage market (but may be a retired plumber from Scunthorpe) or, and this is just a crazy, whacky idea I've had......
Ask a mortgage advisor at your bank, a broker or just browse Martin Lewis's website for impartial advice.
Me? I'd probably fix now before rates get any higher. They will.

With interest rates starting to rise again another 1/2% today look around for a fixed rate maybe a three year one. Go from there after that. ? But that's what I would do you know how much a month you will be paying. |

Be quick is my advice. Interest rates only going one way
My personal not a professional view is that of suspicion. 5 year fixed rates are inline or less than 2 years. Why would a bank do that? Capitalise on panic buying with a forecast that interest rates will fall in a few years but this on 5 year are locked in with early payment charges.
Get pro adv us but I’d be looking at 2 or 3 year fixed with lowest exit clause possible |

With inflation set to continue to rise, it doesn't take a genius to work out that rates are set to rise further still.
He will have the option to select a 'product transfer' 3 months before the old one expires.
He could re-mortgage to a different provider, now, if they are offering a cheaper product than his current lender, but will have early repayment charges to pay on his existing, BUT new mortgage offers have a use by date of around 6 months (it varies from one lender to another), so could do it now and not have it start until the old product expires.
