Mortgage choices

I'm talking to my current lender, but will be checking elsewhere too.

At the moment I need a mortgage that will let me over pay with no fee, so likely to be either the tracker or on the SVR.

I've been offered a tracker at 6.49% or the SVR at 6.37% - both over 2 years.

The variable is a better rate, but of course it depends if the rates will go up again.

Do you think it's worth the gamble?

First direct do unlimited overpayments on their fixed rates.

The tracker rate will also go up - or down - the difference is the variable rate can be set completely at random, the tracker follows the base rate
