Is now a good time to re-mortgage to a tracker?

Hope you can help. We are out of our 3 year fixed rate and on SVR for about 8 months now. Is now a good time to enter into a tracker mortgage?

    It depends on many things - what the SVR is, how much the tracker is, fees, your own attitude to risk, your LTV, your salary multiples. Each individual is different, with different circumstances.
