Remortgage query

We took our first mortgage in 1983 and every time we moved we still aimed for our mortgage to finish in 2008. This resulted in quite expensive endowments and ISA'S. Our current 2 year deal ends in June and I'm just looking for advice for the next 3 yrs. Our outstanding amount is £93,000, £83,000 interest only and £10,000 repayment. This repayment part was only taken when the present mortgage started as we could face a shortfall from our endowments. My question is this, with only 3 yrs left should we continue with the part interest part repayment option or go back to interest only and put more money into ISA's. I'm having difficulty getting quotes online for this type of mortgage.

    Try the Jon Charcol website, you can search for mortgages with the amount you want to split between capital and interest and interest only.

    Good Luck
    Nice to save.

    A lot of lenders have a minimum term of five years - which when quoting would be ok for the interest only portion but may distort the repayment part of the loan.
