I need to sort out a new mortgage soon and I'm trying to decide how long to fix it for.
My guess is that the base rate will probably not be lower than it is right now for at least 4 years? Maybe? Meaning a 2 yr fix might leave me open to paying quite a bit more in 2 years time.
I'm leaning towards a 5yr fix even if that means potentially slightly overpaying for the final couple of years or so, probably safer to go this way than be exposed to wherever we might be in 2yrs.
Of course it's all a load of guess work and no advice being sought as such but I'm ineterested in knowing what your thoughts are on it.
