    What interest rates are you paying on the loan and on the mortgage?

    I imagine interest is higher on the loan, but there could be a benefit in needing a lower % mortgage. Maybe have a look at the mortgage deals around now and see how much difference in mortgage interest rates a lower LTV ratio would give you.
