Remortgage advice please

Hi, this is my situation:
My fixed rate period ends at the end of Feb, so I have started looking around now. I have £101,500 left on my mortgage, so am looking to remortgage for this amount over 20 years. I am currently paying £636 per month on a repayment basis with Halifix. They haven't offered me anything as yet, but I believe they nearly always don't offer good deals to existing customers.
I have been offered the following by two different mortgage brokers:
Offer 1
3 year fixed at 5.39%
Monthly payments of £691.91
No overpayments allowed
Absolutely no fees (apart from an exit fee from Halifax)
Offer 2
2 year fixed at 4.97%
Monthly payments of £664.88
Overpayments allowed
£400 Product Reservation fee
£100 Remortgage Admin fee (plus exit fee from Halifax)
I'm not too clued up on mortgages so am not sure which one I'd be best off going with (i'm also very indecisive!).
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks

The second deal looks like Nationwide - I believe they have just got rid of the re-mortgage admin feeI am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Thanks guys, yes the second one is Nationwide. The first one is Principality building society.
So for Nationwide, if I want this deal I need to move quick then if they're increasing remortgage rates!0 -
