Mortgage terminology help needed

What sums would you do to calculate this early repayment charge? I don't have a degree in tosh so can't answer.

The amount repaid or transferred x 85 days additional gross interest at the rate of 4.59 per annum.

It then goes onto say the maximum charge that you could pay £688 if the whole loan is paid back.

This is based on a loan of £64000.

Any help gratefully received as Abbey couldn't give me a precise figure on this. Grrr.

    If you make a partial payment of £20,000...

    £20,000 x 4.59% / 365 x 85 = £213.78


    If you settle the whole mortgage early...

    £64,000 x 4.59% / 365 x 85 = £684 (£4 out, but near enough!)

    We haven't used this yet no.

    We can pay 10% in overpayments. Why you ask? Do you see a sneaky bypass to take the charge even lower?

    Are you looking at reducing the debt, or redeeming totally - if latter is that due to a sale ?

    obviously you need to check that yopu meet the conditions for any "penalty free" overpayment.... but if you do I would assume you would want to

    1. Make use of this years "allowance" ( might be difficult if only funds are coming from a sale)

    2. Again , not really a big thing if selling ... but if its an overpayment, calculating if worth leaving a chunk until you can use next years allowance

    3. If selling, have you calculated if worth porting....
