New Deal Required

Typically as my 5 year fixed rate is nearing the end (August), interest rates are starting to rise. I’ve had my eye on a deal for a few months and just wondered if anyone has seen anything better. 

House value is circa £300-325k
Mortgage remaining £98k
Looking for a fixed rate, no longer than 10 years and no shorter than 5. Payments preferably £850-£1000 p/m. 
 
The deal I had seen was with Barclays who I’d always thought were quite expensive however their current deal that I was interested in was: £98k over 10 years on a 7 year fixed rate of 2.26% (was 1.65%!). I would like the ability to overpay by up to £3k per year which should allow the mortgage to be paid within the 7 years. 

I would appreciate anyone who can offer any suggestions.

TIA
