Basically we're in the process of fixing our mortgage. We're unsure wether to go for 3 or 5 years. I do not think rates will come back down before the 5 years, not down to the 2% that we had again. We're paying tracker, at 3.6 and we can get a fixed for 5 years at 4.20, I think that's quite good... Does anybody have any views on what way might the rates go in the medium term (I know this is only a guess!)? If we do fix up and then we do trade up, so if we need to top-up our mortgage but still stay with the same institution, do they still charge us breaking fees? How much are these fees normally? I think it's about 1% of the outstanding amount?
Thanks in advance!
