Rent isn't going to increase like mortgage repayments will if the interest rates rise.
That's assuming they will rise. Many forecasters are seeing them stay the same now until possibly 2017 with even a decreas by the end of the year on the cards.
When I took my variable rate mortgage out three years ago, I read all the doom and gloom about how rates will go up. Well there has been no change since then and I have been paying 3% less than what I would have been long term fixed. I wouldn't hesitate to tkae out a variable interest today.
You got to take risks to get what you want in life I reckon
