Switching to a fixed rate mortgage in 2014.
In 2014 mortgage rates are predicted to rise, and so you are recommended to move from a variable rate deal to a fixed rate to give yourself added protection.
Many home-owners move onto their lender's SVR without much thought. Surprisingly some mortgage-holders do not bother to search the market for a better deal. While SVRs were competitive, letting your lender switch you to their SVR was okay. However since fixed rate remortgages have become so cheap this no longer makes sense.
It makes no sense to default to an SVR at 4%+ when there are far cheaper fixed rate remortgages on offer which could save you money.
Why move from your lender's SVR in 2014?
As interest rates are expected to rise, lenders are likely to react by hiking their mortgage rates, and SVR holders maybe affected the most.
As a variable rate holder you are more vulnerable to interest rate fluctuations, and so before lenders funding costs rise, protect yourself by switching to a cheap rate deal while you can.
