Should I wait till my fixed 3 year mortgage ends

I am coming to the end of my 3 year fixed rate mortgage. Should i go to my bank now and try and get a better deal or should i wait till the 3 year deal has completely ended. It finishes in november 1st 2012. Would waiting till it finishes give me better bargaining with the bank at getting a better rate or does it make no difference. I have £60000 left on my mortgage. Flat £200000 My current rate is 4.79

  • It's a bit early but some AIPs last 6 months so if there is a rate you want to bag you may be able to do it already.

    You've got great LTV, you should go and see a broker to get the best deal possible. If you want to fix there are some 2.99% deals out there.
    Thinking critically since 1996....
  • Thanks I think i will wait. My feeling is that there should still be good deals around for some time.
  • Yep, make sure you go further than your bank. They certainly won't be loyal to you!

    start a bit of research now so you have an idea of what's around and an idea what you want.

    Start with the followon rate on the current deal.

    I accepted a deal from Nationwide 3.29 4 year fix 315 a month, do you think this is a decent offer. I was currently on 4.79

    Looks a good deal to me.

    But what do think? I do not beleive they will offer lower rates.

    Whatever you decide it is the correct decision at the time!!!
