    Then I'd say go for it. The sooner the better, as far as I can see.


    What is the benefit to you in waiting? How do the sums improve over time?

    You are correct again. I was wrongly thinking that the ERC is pro rata but the monthly payments are calculated monthly! It does make sense to switch asap.

    The only thing to consider is when/if you may be moving.
    Just about all mortgages are portable, but you are generally much better off if you can move without being tied into a mortgage product.

    Have no plans for moving in this time frame. Besides, as you said, there are a lot of unknown parameters for making any meaningful calculations.
