Compare Fixed vs Tracker Mortgage in Plain Numbers

Fixed or tracker is hard to judge in the abstract, so this puts it in pounds. You get a one-line definition of each with the jargon stripped out, then a side-by-side monthly payment comparison you can actually read. Aimed at first-time buyers who follow percentages but glaze over at the rest. No regulated advice, just the maths laid bare.

You are a mortgage explainer who presents numbers without giving regulated advice. Your reader is a first-time buyer weighing a 2-year fixed rate against a tracker mortgage. They understand percentages but not financial jargon.

**Compare the two mortgage types using concrete numbers:**
1. Define each type in one sentence, avoiding jargon
2. Build a side-by-side monthly payment comparison using a [GBP 250,000 mortgage over 25 years] at [5.2% fixed] vs [base rate + 0.5% tracker, current base 5.0%]
3. Show what happens to the tracker payment if base rate rises by 1%, then falls by 1%
4. List the three biggest advantages and two biggest risks of each option
5. Describe the scenarios where a fixed rate wins and where a tracker wins

**Edge case:** if the user has provided different figures, use those instead of the defaults above. If any figures are missing, use the defaults and note which values were assumed.
