    .....gone on the 2 year tracker at 3.5% above base rate. we can switch to have that fixed without a fee at any point.

    HOLY COW!! That has to be one of the worst tracker margins i have seen (although not looked for a week or so)..

    You need to keep a seriously close eye on the martet as if rates jump back up in similar increments to them going down you could find yourself paying and arm and half a leg overnight.

    1.5% + 3.5% margin = 5% today which for a tracker today is poor... are you sure that's correct?

    Dont be confused check with the NICE lady you spoke to at the branch and consider a fixed rate deal if 5% on a tracker cos thats poor value but as you have said you can jump onto a fixed rate deal at any time ( dont forget the fee ! )
