I think most are overpaying, or using to help live following losses of income. I don't think many people will be out buying 60inch plasmas.
People seem to underestimate tracker owners. I have been paying (a little) more in many of the years I have had my tracker than a fixed but I have enjoyed the flexibility and control I have over it (flexible offset). We have had to take a risk on the rate and to that end, I suspect, most have lower LTVs than FR owners. I don't think (generally)tracker owners are the big spenders people make them out to be.
Hear Hear!
I have one tracker and one fixed, both I've been overpaying for a number of years.
With the interest rate going down, I've simply maintained my payments meaning more capital is paid back :T :T:wall:

Hundreds of thousands of borrowers, including those with the Halifax - the biggest mortgage lender - will also see payments drop to a few pounds, pence, or even nothing.
Without doubt this must be a typical Daily Mail unresearched report stating facts like this. Only 4 to 5 million borrowers have tracker mortgages in total.0 -
