Under 6% is a good deal and this gives you time to build up the equity in your home and clear a big chunk off your mortgage.
£999 fee is £200 a year £4 a week !
Dont forget you will hopefully have had 5 payrises in that time and if you can overpay a little each month a much smaller debt.
Good Luck0 -
