    Hey,

    Can anyone tell me if that think I should fix my tracker mortgage (ECB + .95%)?

    Will rates drop in the next year or two?

    Thanks.

    Similar to myself so, I am staying put as had benefit of if for most of the term so far. I don't believe it will stay at it's current level for longer than 2 years and then it should drop back, probably not back to it's lowest.

    With 20 years left and having a 0.95% tracker you would be mad to give it up as you would have about 15 years of being at the mercy of what rates your bank will charge after the fixed rate ends.

    You may be paying a bit extra for another year / year and a half, but remember when rates start dropping, the tracker rate drops immediately
