Hi. Current 3yr fix Mortgage with Nationwide ends next month.
Can do a straight 5yr fix now at 4.2% for 15% more per month than paying at moment. No fees.
15yr left on Mortgage.
Can't see any dramatic fall in rates in coming years so for peace of mind it looks a fair deal.
Any advice appreciated.

If that's what you think and peace of mind is what you want, then fix.fiddle_sticks said:

Many of us didn't expect BoE to drop the rate in August, I thought it'd be near the end of the year. I'd just go for it and fix for the 5 years for PoM if that's what you're after. I just went for a tracker, let it swing with the wind! 🤔Note:I'm FTB, not an expert, all my comments are from personal experience and not a professional advice.Mortgage debt start date = 25/10/2024 = 175k**/2024 = 139.3k01/2025 = 137.3k1
