Is it worth me doing this?

My fixed rate morgage finishes in another 2 1/2 years time. The interest rate is 6.24.
Would it be worth me paying to get out of the fixed rate and going for what ever the rate is now? Also how much is it to get out of a fixed rate morgage before the end of time?
Thanks

Several points to consider....re' the cost this will be stated in your mortgage papers (offer/kfi)..as every lender is different...also you need to consider the valuation of your property against the amount borrowed....you need all this info before doing any calculations...0

Any exit fee will depend entirely on the lender and what your agreement with them was when you took out the mortgage.
The interest rate and other terms you can get to replace it will depend on the value of the property, the size of the loan you want, the term of the loan you want, your income, your credit rating...
No-one can advise on the information you've provided.loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.0 -
