Advice Needed Please xx

Thanks in advance.

£33,000 outstanding on mortgage, currently on standard variable rate and overpaying as much as possible every month.
Hoping to be mortgage free in 2 years.

Is it worth switching to a fixed rate for 2 years or sticking with the SVR?

Any opinions welcomed xx

    Fixed rates tend to come with fines on overpaying.

    Not saying it's not worth it, just something to take into consideration.
    Initial Mortgage July 2015: £170,995
    Current Mortgage: £159,402
