Nationwide Mortgage deal ending soon... HELP

Hi all I was looking for some advice because I'm not sure that I have this right.

2 years ago we took out our first mortgage with the Nationwide, we took a 2 year fixed deal at 5.88%. (paying £678 a month)

We are now approaching the end of this deal and according to out documentation we should revert to the Nationwide Base Mortgage Rate.
The Nationwide website states that the BMR is 2.5%.

Assuming we do not agree to any new deals and go on the BMR the net result is our monthly payments should go down... is this correct?

It seems too good to be true lol

    It is for you.:beer:

    A nightmare for Nationwide though ( hence they have increased the SVR to 3.99% for new borrowers.
    You'll be on 2.5% SVR with no tie ins :p

    It's correct. I just got written confirmation that we are going to it when our 5.47 fix ends this month. £300 less to pay per month :)

    My 5 year fixed rate mortgage is due to finish in April 2010 then we go to the banks BMR which is 2.5% at the minute which i guess is best to stay with? can you make over payments when we go over to the BMR?

    Cheers
