Fixed or variable mortgage?

Your mortgage payment could stay the same for 5 years, or change every month. Which do you want?

Fixed: the rate is locked for 2, 5 or more years. Variable or tracker: the rate moves with the central bank rate. When a deal ends, you usually move to the lender's more expensive standard rate unless you switch.
