misterbarlow said:Similar situation to OP, we bought in 2006 on 2yr fixed which then went onto a +1% lifetime tracker, our mortgage nearly halved for last 10-12yrs or so, its now gone up around £100 already this year..
We don't know whether to ride it out for a few years, or switch and fix at higher rate now as decent fixed deals are rapidly disappearing this week..??
Balances under 50k, you must only be talking 10-20 quid a month for every 0.5% rise?
But what difference does a move onto best rates currently available make per month? Plus any fees involved?
I'd ride it out if I were you.Feb 2008, 20year lifetime tracker with "Sproggit and Sylvester"... 0.14% + base for 2 years, then 0.99% + base for life of mortgage...base was 5.5% in 2008...but not for long. Credit to my mortgage broker0
