Moving from repayment to IO Mortgage

Does anyone have any experience on moving from a repayment to an IO mortgage?
Would like to do move for around 9 months while wife on maternity leave, but currently got a better fixed rate ( 1 year into 5 years at 4.79%) than is generally available.
If you do move is your current rate kept and moved to IO or do you need to look at a new fixed rate?
How do lenders view the move, does it affect your credit rating in any way ( I imagine not )?
any views much appreciated.

It depends on who the lender is and what the LTV is....Lenders are no longer comfortable with IO....does not effect credit file..rate is not changed... however the only way you will know is to ask0
