    I think you can get better - I would approach a financial advisor and see what they can offer you. I think the fee is a bit high for the rate you are getting. For example Nationwide BS offer a 5 year fixed at 5.98% with a £599 fee. A financial advisor would find the best deal to suit your needs.
