    hi sorry about lack of info when originally posting,
    to confirm i have 28,000 and am unsure what to do with it as above

    my mortgage balance is £92000
    valuation of house 3 years ago £98000
    am on fixed rate of 6.34% until jan 2012
    with goto rate of 3.74% above base rate
    i am allowed to overpay 10% of balance once a year without ERC

    is an offset mortgage a possible solution
    i hope you can help me with this updated info

    Probably worth getting a couple of up to date valuations so you know where you stand, given the fact that the market has changed

    Think it makes sense getting valuations !
    But how do I do this ? Just valuation from estate agents ?
    Or is there a way of gettin a more accurate valuation other than paying for one ?
