2 year fixed or 5 year fixed?

I am looking at buying a flat, I have a mortgage offer for 3.69% for a five year fixed which I think gives me stability of knowing that I have decent rate of interest, especially as rates can only go up from here, but it does tie me into the property.

Someone at work who is buying a property mentioned that she was getting a two year fixed for 2%, I said that was worried about rates going up but she said that she would look to remortgage for another two year deal in two years time and would still hopefully get a better deal, this made sense to me, does anyone I agree that overall I would be better off going for a two year fixed and look to remortgage, rather than a five year fixed?
