    Hi...a tracker will always be based in the Bank of England base rate, that is the meaning of the tracker. If a rate works off a lender standard variable rate, this is known as a discount. A lender can load a tracker rate e.g. BBR + .25% which means that the rate will track the base rate +.25% giving currently 5.25% but the base figure will always be in line with the current bank rate. Trackers at the moment are very poor rate wise and unless the saving is at least 1% of the current SVR with your lender I would hang on a bit to see where it all goes.

    Regards

    Ian
