This annoys me. People could be actually taking advice from comments like this. There is far more to choosing the correct mortgage than the comparative costs of fixed vs tracker. You need to assess the risk of rate movements and your aversion to it.

These people are trained to walk you through your options and guide you in the right direction, which is a must in the tricky times we now face. If you do call them pass my name on, hopefully they will remember me.

I would give a link to their website but I'm not yet allowed.

With many people saying that interest rates could hit 3.5/4% next year Trackers will become even more popular.
