why would you fix for over 7% since its about the long term average.
And those who are claping their hands for fixing at 4.99% for 3 years need to remember 3 years is a very short time. I wouldn't bother fixing for anything less than 5 years, but then again you pay for it!!!
You also need to remember 80% of the time when you fix, the bank wins.
So the only reason why you would fix is for 'insurance' purposes, not to beat the banks.
