My fix rate will be end in March. Not too sure which type of mortgage i need choose again, is that fix, variable or track?? Can somebody give me some advice and any prediction for the coming year?

    for 1 year its expected to stay reasonably low (base rate) but it will rise at some point so if you go with a tracker make sure its on a very short term.

    Ive just gone with a long term fixed. If you can get a good fixed rate on a very long term you may just be better off in 2 years time than you would be with anything else.

    But then again who can predict the future? not me... i can only guess.

    My prediction for next year is that there will be a general election and the population will have to pick a party to run ( down!) the country!
    What will happen to interest rates wel thats a different matter.
    If you cant afford for rates to go to high then a long term 3/5 years FIX might be a good idea.
    I like offset mortgages GOOD LUCK
