Help with new Natwest switch offer

307 Posts


My 2.04% fixed ends in 6 months so am now eligible for a product switch with Natwest, but really unsure what to do. I think I'm going to ignore the 5 year fixed deals which are 5.74%
Roughly £58k remaining and 13 years left on current deal which is £416 a month and LTV is about 30-35%
I've been offered these rates to switch.
2 year fixed deals
6.09% £529 a month
5.74% (£995 fee added to mortgage) £528 a month
2 year tracker
3.74% (1.49% above base rate) £460 a month at current BofE interest rate
3% (£995 fee added to mortgage and 0.75% above base rate) £447 a month at current BofE interest rate
5 year fixed
5.44% (£995 added to mortgage) £518 a month
I'm leaning towards the tracker one which tracks at 0.75% above the base rate.
EDIT: Actually, thinking about it I can stay on my 2.04% fixed for the next 6 months, so by that time the tracker mortgage will probably not be as attractive especially if there are several interest rises between now and then. Maybe the 2 year fixed is the way to go?
Thanks

I recently turned down 4.5% in favour of my tracker as I am sceptical base rate will rise much above 4%. Flexibility is nice as well.
