Read today that the number of 2 year fixed mortgages with 90% LTV fell from 294 to 23 recently. I have my 10% deposit to get my first house - looking less likely to go ahead now but might still happen. Thinking it might be more sensible to get a 5 year fix incase the housing market doesn't recover in 2 years or interest rates go up. How do you go about finding out if the mortgage provider will give you consent to let 2-3 years down the line before signing up for a 5 year mortgage? Don't want to commit to 5 years

Look at the terms.
It's unlikely that they won't give you consent. It just depends how much they charge. Nationwide charged us an extra 1% (I think) from month 7 onwards - ie 6m free.
@aggi I get why they would be less keen at the moment on a 2 year. Find out next week; got a call with a broker and my agreement in principle with my bank expires & should auto-renew
