Mortage Payments

This might be a Daft post but, Mr Thrifty wants a small Mortage £30,000. I have asked for a Mortage and have been given the okay, my age 50s, but what would the Monthly repayments be on a £30k, I know there are different types, So if I have the £30k in the Bank would I be better off spending my savings or taking the Mortage. I have crammed a lot in to the question but hopefully the answer will be much simpler.

    What length mortgage? Fixed or variable? Capital or interest only? Mortgage term?

    Do you need the savings? Due to the interest on a mortgage, if I had the money lying around then I'd use that instead of taking out a mortgage. But this would be if I have no other plans/need for the money.
