MFW by Christmas 2020

Current Outstanding Balance : £218,000
Current Mortgage : 5.84% Fixed Until July 2011
£1,449 Repayment per month.


Thinking about buying myself out of current deal with Santander and going with 10 year fix from Yorkshire BS.
Would cost @ £6K to get out....but doubt I will still be able to get 4.99% l10 year fix next summer....any thoughts / advice?

Whatever standard monthly repayments are I plan overpay so that total monthly payment is £2K.

Also, have a woeful Endowment with Aviva, which was supposed to provide £60K at the end of 2020 - but will probably be closer to £30K! Currently still paying £101 per month into that.

Any advice very welcome!

    well you fixed rate ends in 8 months, no way would i be spending 6k bying myself out of that. Just my opinion but I cannot see interest rates going anywhere in the near future so personally I would not be in a rush. Santanders current SVR is 4.24% so I would see out my deal then review in 8 ish months. What is your ltv???
