    If you call Abbey to request moving onto interest only - they should allow that, although there may be a small fee.

    You could say to them that you wish to go interest only and like to have the flexibility to reudce the capital via the overpayments facility - going interest only does not automatically mean being in financial difficulty.

    Just ask them what the process would be.

    Great thanks, I'll do that tomorrow, just saying I'm looking at the options.
