Have you seen anything decent? I'm on a base rate tracker and don't plan to change. I don't see the rates rising significantly if at all until end of this year or Q1 next year.

half the problem is prior to the rates rising the banks will change what they are offering to make sure they are covered so the deals now wont be as good as when it all starts rising.

When the base rate does start rising, how fast will it rise? My mortgage tracks the base rate + 0.5%. When I was fixed I was @ 4.83%. What are the chances of the base rate hitting this sort of level?

doing a quick scan of the current market i can see lows at 2.18% and highs at 4.18%
so 1% on the base rate will soon make the 4.18% interesting for some

now were on 2.55% fixed for 2

I'm moving towards a tracker, HSBC have some good deals on lifetime trackers at the moment 1.99% - 2.19% dependent of fees, if you have a current account with them etc. The good thing with this type of tracker is no tie in so stick with it while the rates are okay and change to a fixed if you start to get concerned about the repayments being too much. Admittedly you do have to factor the fees in which is why I'd try to find something with the lowest fees.
