BOE base rate change on Thursday

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I am about to remortgage with Nationwide on a tracker at 4.54%. Does anybody think the deals will change after Thurs? What I mean is I don't know whether to go ahead before Thursday or see if a better deal is offered after this?

    If rates go down by 0.25% - your tracker should do the same also

    If you go for a tracker then the rate will be pegged to the BoE rate. If BoE goes down then so does the tracker and vice versa so applying now will make little difference.

    It can make a small difference, in that often the rate goes down straight away for new customers and 30 days later for existing ones (exact times vary).
    Little chance of a rate cut on Thursday IMO.
