    Halifax charge £10 if you change the term of the mortgage, but otherwise don't (as yet). Might be worth saving up your repayments and doing them once a year?

    It seems to be a relatively new charge some lenders have added to stop people making too frequent payments and treating normal mortgages like flexible mortgages.

    Have you compared cash ISA rates with your mortgage rate?
    You might get more in an ISA.

    I get 6.25% from Ruffler bank in mine.

    Thanks for the info. I am also thinking about doing saving to do big capital repayment to avoid such charge.
