unsure of new mortgage

Hi all,

im looking for some help. 3 years ago i bought my first house and was advised to have an interest only stepper mortgage. at present being on the third year we pay £867.00 interest rate being 5.9%. the bank has sent me a letter today because mortgage is due for renewal. it says that mortgage will automatically switch to rate of 2.5% which gives a new monthly total of £334.10.

my problem is should i now be getting a mortgage repayment one rather than interest only. also how would this effect the payments.

many thanks for any advice x
