Fixed v Variable

Posts: 13 Forumite
I am coming off a discounted flexible tracker shortly, it is currently 2.65%. The best my current lender A&L can offer me is a 3 year tracker at 3.99% - even though I have a current and accounts and a perfect payment history - its as if they don't want the business.
The Co-Op are offering a 3 years tracker at 2.39%. Althoguh I accept that the interest rates will rise over the next 3 years, I think that I would still be better off on this low tracker rather than a fixed at about 4%, as it will take a while for the rate to rise 1.6%, as I may hoping for no more than 0.25 to 0.5% rise per quarter (and hopefully less).
What do others think ?
