Mortgage advice needed

Posts: 13 Forumite
hi there
we are selling our house and buying another.
Current mortgage £50K
New mortgage £80K
Total new mortgage £130K
Current mortgage is a tracker currently at 3.19% (2.69% above base rate) tied in to March 2012 and 1% redemption fee (£500).
Would the best policy be put all new mortgage onto fixed rate at 3.28% tied until june 2013, put all onto existing tracker or spilt between the two?
Im being advised to put all onto existing mortgage.
Have i been given good advice?
Thanks

you cant put it on to existing mortgage if you are moving, you take out a new mortgage.
You can port the deal though, and as the penalties are not horrendous then work out what makes most financial sense0 -
would it be prudent to go for the fixed or stick with the tracker?
whats the feeling out there about interest rate rises?0 -
Interest rates will go up
the question no one knows the answer to, is when, and by how muchIt's a health benefit ...0
