The spreadsheet is your friend.
There's plenty of mortgage calculator templates available. Plug in a couple of scenarios (non-fixed term rate, remortgage with current provider, offer 1, offer 2 etc) and work out which is the best deal for you.
Likely that the base rate+ model will either work really well or not work at all. If it's close, just go for the long term fixed.
Yeah it's just that I've hardly got my finger on the financial pulse, so I worry about staying on the tracker now and by the time I realise it's good to remortgage, the fixed rates start to go up. I may have to wait a bit anyway, as since I've moved jobs my current salary is only 1 month in (took a drastic pay cut for 3 months but it's gone back up), I'm on the wrong tax code etc so it might be a good idea to sort all that out first.
