    At £263 per month, you don't have a very big mortgage.

    Which means it probably isn't worth paying switching costs to move.

    And products which reimburse switching costs are not likely to be sub-bank base rate.

    So, based on the limited information available, I don't think that it's worthwhile for you to switch.

    the term "better deal" is very subjective

    There may be lower rates ( but as Mark rightly states- possible fees might outweigh the savings)

    However these rates ( or even those at a higher rate) may offer features , such as offset, flex, overpay, fixed etc... that some people might say makes the deal "better"
