It is in dollars but just pretend its £ ! I's great to see how little overpayments can reduce the mortgage term by a lot.

A five year fix at 4.74% isn't bad normally. The £999 product fee makes it slightly less attractive. Over 5 years the average BofE would need to be 2.75% which would be top end of my expectations over 5 years.

I like trackers (because they are generally fair to borrowers and lenders) and +1.99% with the advantage of never looking for a mortgage again gets my vote - but only if you can afford to take the risk.
