    You would be on 4% as currently Barclays Base Rate is 1.5%

    @blueye
    If you now owe 122000 at 5.89% and are paying £725 then you can work out by trial and error that your term remaining appears to be 357 months ( 29 Years 9 months).
    After year one you will owe £120,443. Reverting to BMR + 2.5% ( 4% at present, who knows in the future ?) for a term of 28 years 9 months would give a monthly payment of £595.83.

    I would not bet your house on my correct use of a free mortgage calculator program.
    The future interest rates mentioned this calculation are anyone's guess.
