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).
