"Long term fixes are great for people who want a high degree of certainty over their outgoings for many years," said Nici Audhlam-Gardiner, head of mortgages at Abbey.

"However, clearly the best deal to tie yourself in to for the long term is one with the most competitive rate," he added.

Abbey also offers a 15 year fixed-rate mortgage, with an interest rate of 5.39 per cent.

The lender offers a range of financial products and services, including current accounts and credit cards.
