When to Overpay

Hi guys


Im with Northern Rock until april 2010 and wanting to overpay so i can hopefully get a decent rate when renewing.

Just wondering when's the best time to make an overpayment on my mortgage??

If My interest gets calculated daily does it not matter when i make the payment??

Thanks Guys

    Check with NR if any limits to overpayments and how best to do this either standing order each month when you get paid( you have control! ) or direct debit
