help sorting out a BTL mortgage

i have checket out a few lenders web pages and read a few topics here without something decent so hopefully one of the members here can help

i currently have a buy to let mortgage and stay at my parents so not really any other outgoings

the property is worth 185k possibly more,with an outstanding balance left of just under 128k which gives a ltv of 70% ish

my current lender has me on the following
term left = 31 years
interest rate =5.45% and some at 5.79% (mortgage was split a few years back)
they have ltv at 75%
currently paying 725 per month

i called them and there proposed new deal is
2 year fixed rate
4.29% interest
payment would be 628
245 fee and 1250 completion fee

my rental income is 725, the letting agent takes 9% which gives me 641 per month

i checked else where and the set up fees seem to be 2% or more which seems alot

whats the best idea for me ? i could fix the term to no more than 3 years as i wouldnt feel comfortable with more than that

does any lender do fee free lending ,i couldnt find any
hopefully someone can give me the best option
thanks in advance for the help,much appreciated
