Anyone got any inside knowledge on what is expected to happen with interest rates over the next 5 years?
On the verge of taking on a Fixed rate mortgage for 5 yrs at 5.39% but my Varible is only at 4% (Nationwide SVR)..
I need to borrow some more (£25k) to pay off some debts I picked up when my wife's business went bust but I can get that @ 4% too or as part of the above remotgage…
Report today said rates should stay low until 2014, but only a 1.4% increase in rates will negate any benefit of staying on the SVR
So do I stick with a SVR or go for Fixed???
Or put my head in the sand and ride my bike instead?
