    After 2 years you can move to another product or remortgage - if you pay the redemption fee (5% year 3 reducing to 3% in year 5). If you don't pay the fee, you will be stuck on their SVR for 3 years after the end of the fix.

    My opinion only, but a seriously bad option.

    And with N&P, because they have a new risk based scoring system, you may not necessarily get the rate you apply for

    Thats the trouble, there are a few of these too good to be true rates availible. The trick is getting accepted. You need a whiter than white credit rating and I'm not talking about the Experian/ect crap that everyone seems to think is what counts.

    But its not too good to be true. You'll be stuffed by the 3 years SVR or 5/3% penalty
