With all due respect nobody on here knows your circumstances. Are you able to make extra repayments, are you looking to move, whats your appetite for risk if rates go up etc etc4

We would need to know the current balance before giving an informed response. Remaining term or your age would give further context.
There's a crossover point where paying the £999 fee (on higher balances) becomes worthwhile to get the lower interest rate. For example on the 5 year fix, on balances averaging £120k, the 0.17% lower interest rate would save ~ £200 per year which is higher than the fee.
The tracker options are more of a gamble on what you guess the base rate will do. Personally I err towards knowing what I'll be paying over hoping to luck into a cheaper deal but that's not necessarily the best approach.2 -
What would I choose (in my circumstances)?
5 years with £999 fee.
It's cheaper (for me) then the one without fee, 10 years rate % seems too high, and 2 years (in my circumstances) with/without fee is more expensive.1 -
Im not looking for answers to these but all the things that will affect the choice that none of us know:
Current balance,
Current term,
Future plans (moving, having kids, kids moving out etc),
Current situation (comfortable, just about getting by).
From what you have given us its not even possible to make the choice purely on a financial basis.

Broker here - really hard to make a decision based on just the figures.
It would depend on your personal situation, future plans and all different factors to make that best decision.I am a Mortgage BrokerYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Broker, so you need to take my word for it.

Where did you get the list?
If you are picking from a list it's pot luck if you pick the right product, or if the right product is even on the list.
If you are getting advice go back and ask the adviser for some proper advice to help with the list.I am a Mortgage Broker

Or you can ask a Broker to handle for you and advise you.
The Broker is paid by the Lender for taking the work off of their staff's workload.
Hence we are one of the many Brokers who can handle this work and provide advice at no cost to the borrower.I am a Mortgage Broker
