The cap is whatever you can negotiate or are willing to accept - they vary by bank, frequency of updates etc and some come with lifetime caps if you choose those - probably no more than 7.5% today.

Getting a fixed if easy given you have the basics required - like a job and 10% down. With houses at all time lows it should be easier to get the 10% now than a few years ago.

If not - then you should rent.
