In October 2021 we got a two-year fixed mortage at 0.97%.
Why on earth did we not fix this historic low rate for longer!?
Because you mortgage broker likes the fees he gets?
Because you've got large monthly payments so the difference between 0.97% and 1.50% would have had a meaningful impact on cashflow?
TBH a significant factor for us in getting a 5yr was to push having to deal with remortgaging rather than some sort slick move, it's all luck.
It would only have cost you o.2pc to have fixed it for another three years!
I think a lot of mortgage brokers are going to be at the business end of a lot of complaints about poor advice over the next few months.
