I expect to go 5yr again because I know I can afford it and I’m risk averse.
Paying up for a 2yr fix now followed by a cheaper 3yr fix when it expires might work out cheaper overall (if rates do come down in 2025/6 as people expect) but there’s enough uncertainty in the economy/politics/geopolitics that I’d prefer not to take the chance.
Mine 5 yr fix ends in early 2027, I think if rates are still high I’ll only fix for 2 years next time, it’s a dice roll but I think eventually we will stabilise around 3-3.5% base rate
