Product Transfer rates

My current fixed-term mortgage (5.89%) is coming to a close and we're moving onto SVR (just above 10%) which will take our monthly payments from £589pm to £828pm.

Due to some arrears we had on the account recently, we're having to hold out a few months before we can apply for a product transfer.

From other people's experience, how much could I expect to pay with a product transfer? Would the figure be closer to my current fixed % or the new SVR %?

Just looking for a rough ballpark figure as we're trying to establish whether we hold out for a few months until we're eligible, or sell the property if the rate isn't likely to be much better. (Note: we've explored options of remortgaging etc. but struggling currently due to LTV and DMP, so product transfer or sale are pretty much our only options right now).
