To fix or not to fix...

The rise in inflation has caused widespread panic in some areas of the press that rates are about to soar and that everyone should jump into a fixed rate.  Trying to pick apart all of this and cover everyone's different situations in one piece of writing is impossible.  Simply call us and talk about your situation and we will provide the right advice for you.

Rates are goign up, it's just when! Fixed rates are still very low in price. It's got to be time to jump in surely?

I agree, rates are heading up. The best fixed rate mortgages have started to disappear according to the papers, so it's time to get one before they all go. I remember being stuck on a fixed rate when rates fell and fell and fell, and that was very painful. Hopefully i can make up for that now...
