Fixed or Variable

Got a fixed rate mortgage at 4.49% with 30months left at the fixed rate and a variable thats always 1% above BoE base rate both with HSBC.
We are in a situation where we can afford to keep our mortgage payments at same amount as what they were Jan 08 so want to overpay each month.
Do I overpay the fixed (max 20%) or overpay the variable mortgage
Anyone help on this please

Got to be the fixed I would have thought.
As interest rates stand at the moment, why borrow at 4.49% when you can borrow at 1.5% ?I am a Mortgage adviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
