    No. There are loads of fee-free deals. You had a tracker and a fix in your opening post, so I picked a tracker and a fix to compare them with.

    Woolwich, Newbury, Co-Op, Monmouthshire and RBS all have decent tracker deals with no fees.

    Thanks for the info above. My head hurts already I think I'm going to look at tracker mortgages with no fee and look to overpay if possible, one question running through my head is I have 22 years left is it best to remortgage for 22 years or go back to 25 (as the payments would be lower) and overpay?

    All depends on you really!.

    Assuming you are talking repayment only, if you go for a mortgage where you can make penalty free overpayments (most mainstream allow up to 10% per annum but if in doubt check the KFI) then there is no reason the term has to be 22, 15, 25 or 30 years (subject to age limitations).

    A good broker will go through affordability with you, so you can see what you can comfortably afford and work backwards from that to find the correct term.

    As long as you remember that the longer you drag it out, the more it will cost in the end.

    you can always change it again next time you remortgage at the end of the rate expiry anyway.

    hope this helps,

    Mike
