Compare Fixed Versus Tracker Mortgage Rates for a Remortgage

Your deal is ending and the choice between fixed and tracker gets framed as a bet on interest rates, when really it is a question about how much payment uncertainty you can tolerate. This compares both properly against your actual balance and stated risk appetite, so the recommendation fits you, not a generic reader.
