I decided on a 2 year tracker with my current lender (Virgin) at 0.6% above BOE base rate. My rate currently is 4.10% and could rise to 5.1% at its peak which is affordable however we also have the freedom to move to a fixed rate with Virgin if they improve below the lowest 4.10% i am paying now. I recommend seeing what you have available, what you can afford and whether you are staying in your property long term.1

Everyone's circumstances are different and lots of factors to consider. Amount of mortgage, length of time left, do you plan on moving, are you comfortable with taking a risk with a tracker, do you want security of a fixed if the payments are affordable etc etc1
