Re-mortgage dilemma

We currently have a fied rate mortgage with the halifax at 4.39 which comes to an end next month. I have been looking around and have found a couple of deals, one for 5.63 fixed for 5 years with a 499 fee and a 5.67 discount fee free. We have a 51000 mortgage so don't know whether to wait or take one of the deals but which one? :confused: Any advice welcome.

Thanks
Jue9

    Well 5.67 discount fee free is better than 5.63 fee with 499 fee. interest rates are forecast to drop for the next year or so so the 5.67 discount looks good. What have halifax offered you?

    Hi, I suggest letting a broker do all of this hard work for you. Any good broker will find the cheapest deal over a set period of time (and will take into account all the fees involved) The US has just dropped its interest rates quite sharpley and the UK looks set to follow (as we head into a recession!) so make your choice between fixed and discounted wisely
