Fixed rate ending

Hi any help with this would be great - my fixed rate is ending and have been offered 4.99 by current lender, is it worth telling them i am not happy with that rate- are they likely to offer anything better , or do they stick to guns ?

    In my experience they stick to their guns but it may well depend on your lender.

    I would begin to shop around and see what is available at you LTV and income etc...

    It wont take long to gather an idea of whats available at present. My advice (just remortgaging myself), is to decide on what mortgage type you are after e.g. tracker/fix and then locate the best available deals for your LTV and go for it.

    Lenders will offer depending on your personal financial circumstances.

    Is the 4.99% the SVR you will drop onto or another fixed rate term product?
