IVA High Rate mortgage. Remortgage

In 8 weeks time my IVA will be removed from my credit record as it’s been 6 years since approval. We completed 4 years ago. We took out a mortgage 7 months ago with Bluestone and have such a high interest rate of 6.9%. There is a fee of over £2000 if we come out of the 5 year fixed rate early but I am wondering if anyone could advise? We owe £96000 and the house value is £140000. We paid a large deposit. Is it worth taking the hit with coming out early and paying the fee to get a mortgage with a regular interest rate as the Iva will be gone? We currently pay £884 per month on the mortgage and if I could get that down I’d be much happier and better off financially.
Thank you so much for reading and any advice will be much appreciated.

If you are on a 5 year fixed rate that suggests affordability could be a problem.
Have you thought about going back to the broker who got you the bluestone mortgage to see what they can do?I am a Mortgage AdviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a mortgage adviser, so you need to take my word for it.
