My fixed rate of 5.09 is coming to a end with Santander i can possibly secure a 3.55 rate for 2 years. My mortgage balance is a total of £132000 with £40k of that on interest only. Can someone possibly tell me what the repayments would be .
1. if i put the whole 132k on 3.55 term 17 years
2. If i keep it with the £40k on interest fee at 3.55 for 2 years again 17 years.
Presently we are paying £857 a month..............and its getting harder

Thanks for that seems then for only another few quid i can start reducing the £40k. Now any chance anyone working out if i paid the £863 for two years what my balance would be at the end ?0

Sorry i just saw the calculator thread seems it will be about £120k0

120,272 like the calculator shows ;-)0

17 years is a short-ish term so you will be making reasonable capital repayments each month with option 1. Always a good feeling to eat away at your mortgage :-)0
