Owning your own home

I'm a first time buyer, expecting to exchange this week. This thread is making me VERY nervous.

Would rather be a FTB on a 2-5yr fixed rate than experience likely rent increases every time you renew your contract.

I'm in the same boat plus a few weeks

out of interest did you opt for a 2 or 5 years fixed term?

I'm thinking 5 is sensible with interest rates likely to creep up in coming years...
