Is it the right time to get a fixed rate mortgage?

Hi,

I will be coming out of a fixed rate in Sept and am undecided wether to remortgage with a tracker or a fix whilst the base rate is only 0.49?

Please advise
Thanks,
Stuart

    What interest rate does your mortgage default onto when the fixed term ends?

    The 2yr no fee tracker available with my current lender is 2.99%
    I am currently in a fixed rate at 5.1%

    When your current fixed term product ends. Your mortgage will automatically switch to an interest rate which would have been specified in your mortgage documents or product literature.

    Before making any decision see what this is.

    Who is your lender?
