Is it worth doing?

Hi,

I am currently on a 3yr fixed rate with Nationwide with 18 months left. The interest rate is 6.78% and my mortgage balance is around £94000. Is it worth paying the 4% penalty and coming off my fixed rate to go on to the variable rate of 2.5%?

Thanks

    Unfortunately you can't pay the redemption fee at nationwide and then go onto their 2.5% rate. The only way to get out of a product at nationwide is to pay the mortgage off completely paying the ERC and take a mortgage out with another lender.
