Remortgaged in Sept 08 to 3yr fixed deal at 6% - any way to get a better deal?

Hi,

I remortgaged in Sept 08 to a 3yr fixed deal at 6% - now that the rates have shot down is there any way to get a better deal?

Will, for example, a move to a 2% tracker over 3 years plus the cost of the early repayment charges make it worth while to swap now?

Thx

  • Without knowing the size of the mortgage, term, ERC and LTV, it is impossible to say.

    However, if a fixed rate deal was the better option 6 months ago, what has changed that makes you suddenly want the uncertainty of a tracker? With base rates at near 0%, trackers will only track upwards.
