fix or stick with tracker

since jan ive been on tracker +0.79 fee free offset with first direct.
i can pay interest only which is currently £50 a month on a bal
of around 46k, but im paying 150/week to pay it off in 7 years.
so its very flexible & i think its a life tracker too, but im wary of
quantitive easing and rising oil prices that could lead to inflation.
saying that unemployment is going up at a horrific rate of nearly 500k/6moths? so if people cant spend anything theres no inflation perhaps.
if a 5 yr fix came up again at under 4.5% fee free, i could be tempted,
especially if it was 3.99% which is surely about the lowest it will go.
whats the best way to find the best deals? comparison sites seem
to miss the best deals at times.0 -
I'd stick with tracker! Put some money aside if you can for when the prices rise. It wont be a shock when they rise though, its going to happen gradually and you can fix then.Squish0
