    Nobody can really tell as you have not posted any figures of what you are currently paying.
    Also needed would be property value, mortgage needed, term etc

    This way we could see if it is worth paying the high arrangement fee or not - don't forget you will probably pay an exit fee to leave your current lender (who is the lender and what is that fee?)
