Mortgage offer

My Nieces fixed rate mortgage comes to an end in November which is 6.65.
The new offer is 2.99 variable or 6.09 fixed for a further 5 years.
In the present climate could someone suggest which option would be best for a young family.

As long as they have the ability to cope with any potential rate rises, the 2.99% looks the best option fo the time being.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.

Is the 2.99 the standard variable rate? If so is it pegged to anything (Bank of England, LIBOR)? Also how are they off financially, would a rise in rates really be a huge problem for them? And what is their attitude to risk?0
