Would like to fix for 5yrs - best deal?

Hey all,
We bought a property in 2005 and were on a 5 year fixed - this expired in Dec 2010.
We then sold that property and bought another in Oct 2010 at a higher price. We ported that mortgage and got another to cover the full price of the property at 85% LTV.
So we now have 2 x mortgages for the same property (with me so far?!)
We are now looking to fix the first part of the mortgage for 5yrs. It is 85% LTV with Santander.
Any advice on what mortgages are out there at the minute? Or what you would do in our situation?
(we really are mortgage newbies
)
