Hi. Currently have sizeable mortgage with nationwide on their old standard variable rate of 2%. I.e 2.5/ base
I think I can switch to new two year tracker at 0.84 over base. Saving would be about 3.5 k over two yrs
However at end I would then revert to their new SMR at 4 %.
I'm not minded to fix at this point
Should I stick with what I have or switch on assumption I should be able to get something competitive with what I have now in two years when the current deal expires ( at which point I think I will be around 63-65% ltv assuming house prices don't plummet
Thanks

What are the figures involved?
Could you fix and overpay the amount your saving? In turn it could save you more by paying off your mortgage sooner.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

How much longer to go until you pay off your mortgage in full?0

19 years o/s. Would overpay the amount saved0

If I fixed rates seem to be higher or comparable with what I'm paying now0

Im not saying I would necessarily do it, but I would strongly consider it.I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

The advantage is only over two years so check that the fees don't eat up the saving (don't have time to check). If not do it, with the intention of doing it again in two years time, when it cranks up. These are the simple options, obviously a real tracker or five year fixed could offer more stability0
