Mortgage-Time To Change??

Hi

Never re mortgaged so any advice I can get I would be great full, I just want to get it paid ASAP.

We have an £113000 mortgage with the Nat West,its an offset , repayment £622 a month, I over pay when I can but currently we have no savings so the only thing offsetting is my monthly salary £1750 net and £500 that my Oh pay's in for his share.

25 year term , 24 years now.

Spoke to a broker about a Northern rock deal fixed 4.09% three years £693 over 20 years , you can overpay up to 10% a year without penaltly, they would charge £99 reservation fee and the broker would charge £495,which would be added to the mortgage.

We can afford these payments I just donlt know if its the best thing to do?

Thankyou x

    £495 for a broker fee is very steep. My broker charges £199.

    What is ur LTV?

    Interest rates are going one way, up.. So the general consensus is to fix now at better rate than later at a higher rate...
