Hello
My 5 year fixed rate is ending in April and I don't know what to do so I am asking for advice from this lovely community.
Here are some of the details:
Balance - £36,071.36
Term - 15 years & 3 months
Repayment type - Capital & Interest
I am with Natwest and here are the available options for me:
Product type / monthly repayments / initial rate / % above base rate / rate expires / rate reverts to / overall cost for comparison / product fee
2 year fixed / £224.56 / 1.74% / NA / 30.06.2018 / 4% / 3.8% APRC / £995
5 year fixed / £237.78 / 2.53% / NA / 30.06.2021 / 4% / 3.6% APRC / £995
2 year fixed / £237.95 / 2.54% / NA / 30.06.2018 / 4% / 3.8% APRC / £0
5 year fixed / £247.61 / 3.10% / NA / 30.06.2021 / 4% / 3.7% APRC / £0
2 year tracker / £222.92 / 1.64% / 1.14% / 30.06.2018 / 4% / 3.7% APRC / £995
2 year tracker / £236.25 / 2.44% / 1.94% / 30.06.2018 / 4% / 3.8% APRC / £0
I am currently paying £276.86 monthly on 4.79% interest rate. Are these available options good or should I shop somewhere else or find a mortgage broker?
Many thanks

£36995 1.74% £30904
£36000 2.54% £30482

No fee is cheaper on all deals
the 2y fix is a £77 cost to hedge against a rate move.0 -
go through the MSE best buy tables and see what is the current market deals and either go through a broker, or if you feel lucky direct."It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"

I say my LTV is 33%. Can afford all rates but not sure on fixed, tracker or any of the deals.0

With a LTV allready in the lower range the best deals are already available so you do not need to factor in that a better LTV may happen is a year or three.
You need to look at your goals as it could infulence the choice,
eg:
do you want to overpay and get rid of the debt quickly or are you happy to let it run the term(would you hit overpayment limits on a fix).
Are there any potential changes in circumstance like pay or wanting to move.(fixing for 5 and moving in two probably not a good idea)
Do you have a upper limit you can afford so need to consider rate rate rises
