    How long is a piece of string.

    I'm sticking with variable as the price cap from Oct is lower than any fixed one I've seen but that does mean the price could go up in April. Depends if you want to know the price you're paying or are prepared to take a chance
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
  • Stick as SVR rates if you can find one open are a lot cheaper than fixed atm?

    The new SVR price rises come in Oct 1st and are guaranteed (Capped) until March 31st - still far cheaper than current fix rate offerings!
