fixed at 2.8% for 2 year and knocked 5 years off my term to 16 and I'm still paying £20 less, happy days! | |

I'm only allowed 10% per year also but if I up the monthly payments it is classed a new contract and does not use any of the allowance. In theory you could up to 2K a month etc.. and not have any penalties. | |

Assuming your lender allows that level of overpayment without penalties. I'm allowed to pay up to 10% of my outstanding balance per year without accruing any charges but it varies from lender to lender. | |

Yeh IMO it's a better idea. | |

Well if you overpay you'll have paid it off before the end of the term anyway. So it works out the same. But it gives you the flexibility of not overpaying if you need the cash. | |

I'd keep the term the same and overpay the difference in repayment. Gives you more flexibility but with the same end result. | |

had on an unexpected letter which brought good news, my 4 years fixed at 5.99% has ended, gone onto variable rate at 4.99%, looking to move onto a tracker, heard its about 3.5%? however looking at paying same and reducing the term. Think I owe roughly 47 with 21 years left, with some crude estimates that I could knock this to about 16 and pay roughly the same. Is this the way to go you reckon? I only got the letter yesterday so a lot of this is thinking out loud type stuff! |
