Limited to 10% OP per year .....

Hi there,
This may sound a stupid question (and it may well be!) ... however, I don't know the answer and looking through the documents I have doesn't seem to make it clear either.
I have an offset base rate tracker from the Woolwich, and I know that we are limited to only being able to overpay 10% per year.
Which is ok ....
Except ..
Does that mean 10% of the original mortgage amount, or 10% of the amount outstanding at the time of our annual statement?
Help!!

Its usually the amount for that year but worth a phone call to confirm with Woolwich.MFW: Nov 2008 £156k, Jun 2015 £129k, Jun 2017 £114k.0

i would ask them for confirmation by post, so you have a record. If you feel you could overpay by more than 10% you could change your term. Some lenders charge for this others don't.Mortgage Start jun 2007 £88500 Outstanding Balance £51000
Overpayments 2007 Nil 2008 £1040 2009 £7853 2010 £10000 2011 aiming for £18000 (6k so far)
