	If mortgage drops, overpay!

	Cheers all. Think we'll stick with 2 years.

	Those are pretty rubbish rates, but I guess as a ftb with a small deposit you don't have much choice. When we first got our property, our deal was 3 years fixed at 6.05%. After the 3 years it went down to 3.99% svr and saved me £230 a month! Been on that rate since June last year and saved some decent monies that would've been spent on interest.

	With those rates if fix for the shortest period possible and overpay as if you were paying the 5 year amount Then after your fixed rate is up, grab another fixed deal before interest rates rise (maybe?) with a better % ltv ratio Ive just got 2.5% on a 75% mortgage for 3 years with £99 fee, plan to overpay 10% a year (no fee) then grab another 3 years in 2017 and should have <60% by then

	I agree although your going to have to pay a good amount over the monthly payments over a short period to have any affect on the LTV

	I've fixed at 4 years, the interest rate can only go up!

	I'd be tempted to fix with the current market been as 'low' as it is. As you say IR could be on the increase..

	At what rate Aaron?

	So after bit of a sanity check if I'm being honest. Mrs aand I gross income approx £40k. Mortgage applied for £133k over 30 years based on £140k property value and 5% deposit. We've chosen to fix for 2 years at 4.99% with Santander. This would then go on to their variable rate (currently 4.74%) if we didn't remortgage. Question is, should we perhaps fix for 5 years at 5.49% to protect against iminent interest rate rises based on high LTV. imho rates could rise above 5.49% in the next 5 years, with our LTV. I'm not a gambling man but feel 2 years is a gamble. Thoughts? [Edited on 06-04-2014 by deano87]
