    What is the standard variable rate that you will be going onto?

    Is your credit rating still the same as the day you got the original mortgage? Has it got better or worse?

    I personally don't like regularly remortgaging. I'd rather settle on a nice long low fixed rate such as 5 years for some payment certainty with a low standard variable rate after that and then stay on that rate forever. After 5 years your wages should have changed hopefully upwards so should be able to take a small increase in payments without too much difficulty.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    So you need to look at your mortgage papeerwork or ring the mortgage centre and ask what rate do I go ono at the end of my current fix.
    It maybe the SVR or some kind of tracker deal
    You then need to look at your long term plans ( no point in taking a 5 year fix if you plan on selling next year!!)
