I'd welcome a bit of mortgage advise if possible.

We are almost 2 years into our 3 year fixed term mortgage. We're in the fortunate position that our house has increased significantly in value, putting us almost in the 40%LTV bracket.

When I spoke to my IFA a little while back the numbers looked like I would be saving around £500 a month when I remortgage if I'm in the 25LTV or 40LTV brackets.

First question: Should I pay penalty to finish mortgage early to get better rate now? (logic seems to say yes, just wondering if I'm missing anything)

Second question: If I can get a much better rate on a tracker should I explore this route, if it all goes tits up with interest rates then I can always bail out and go fixed - although I don't see them going up too much?!?

You'd need the numbers in order to compare the options. How much will you save by switching now vs. how much it costs you to end early.
