Clydesdael mortgage

Currently on 2.49% expires 31/5/23.  Clydesdale have said we can lock in new rate 180 days before, currently looking at 5.4%ish switch for 5 year fix - approx £300 more per month.   
New rate would be effective from 1/6/23

I queried with clydesdale if the rates go down before 31/5 if I can lock in a lower rate and they said yes.  - Can anyone confirm is this if correct?  Thanks

    I'd also listen to his point about talking to brokers rather than going with the lenders offer without looking at others.
