tbh you have missed the boat with fixed rates as they've risen three times plus one more looks likely. If you can hack it variable rate maybe better as your get the benefit reduced rates when they come down over the next year or two

a couple of comments
interset only after 25 years you will still own the house but owe the original amount you borrowed
Hence prices are likely to have risen over a 25 year period so maybe not much of an issue but if you lent 100k then you will need to pay 100k after 25 years. Saving that is 4k a year which is alot when you consider out goings with a house etc
I would go repayment
most will not let you pay lump sumsbut allow you to pay extra off each month if you can afford it - my lender allows up to £500 a month extra payments
