    Which lender?

    What does your mortgage paperwork say the rate will go to?

    It says no rates on paper and it's Santander
  • Santanders SVR is 4.74% so this will be cheaper than your current rate and your monthly payment will go down....

    By putting your outstanding mortgage amount and the number of years left and the new interst rate you will be able to work out your new payments following this link:

    Thanks for the reply that works out about 20 pound cheaper a month, so would my mortgage amount be different every month ? Also what are my other options ? Could I swaP mortgage company or wait and see if the rate drops? Is that likely ?

    I'm interested in this thread as I am on the same mortgage with the same company coming to an end this Autumn (4yr Fixed).

    I can't for the life of me find out what the cost of changing to a different mortgage with a different lender would be. If i did change I'm not sure if I should change to a fixed or a tracker. Also if I do get a new mortgage would I need to get a new valuation as I have done a lot of work to the property and have possibly improved my %LTV

    Basically I haven't got a clue about mortgages in general and any advice or guidance would be appreciated.

    Start by giving Santander a call. See what they'll offer you as an existing customer.
