Stay Variable or move & fix ?

HI,

We have 12 years left with euro62k left on our mortgage.
With EBS on variable rate of 4.43% which will just move upwards.
Both secure enough jobs.

Brother in law recently moved to BOI to fix but it cost him approx euro1000 in fees.

So question is - is it worth the e1k to move and fix or just stay with the variable. Not good with the figures the way ye are !!

We are very lucky with the amount owing but just weighing up my options at the minute.

Thanks for any replies or advice.

K
