So, should you fix? Martin would say: It depends. (He loves that phrase. It’s his security blanket.)
Ask yourself: Can you stomach a bill spike? If your budget is tighter than a jar lid, a fix might be your safety net.

Are you flexible? Happy to ride the waves? Then stick with variable and keep an eye on the news. Set a calendar reminder. Watch the market like a hawk on espresso.
A cheeky cheat code
Use comparison sites. Not the big ones with flashy ads. Use the official ones listed on Martin’s site. They’re unbiased, like a referee with no dog in the fight.
Also, check if you’re on a standard variable tariff. Most people are, and it’s usually the worst option unless you’re lazy (no judgment).
