    I agree with @SmudgeButt.

    The best mortgage will be specific to your own circumstances: thing like your income, expenditure, loan amount, property value.

    It will also be specific to your requirements: things like how long you want to be tied in, whether you want a guaranteed monthly payment and if you have plans to overpay your mortgage and/or take payment holidays.

    The lovemoney.com mortgage finder tool has filters for all of those options and is found here: http://www.lovemoney.com/mortgages/search-all-mortgages.aspx

    Otherwise you could speak to Tim Wilson, lovemoney.com's mortgage broker, on 0800 804 8045.

    The % you can put down as a deposit is the most critical item. That will determine how good a rate you might be able to get and narrow down the field.

    I wouldn't go for a 2 year fix now. It should be at least 3 years or a Tracker. If a Tracker then try to overpay as much as you can while rates are low and then it won't cost you as much interest when rates get higher.
