    Specifically relating to this account, be aware that no withdrawals are permitted during the 12 month term, unless the account is closed - you won't get the higher rate of interest either if you close early.

    I forgot about that. I suppose, for the smaller repairs, you should be able to afford them out of normal income and, in the unlikely event of a complete breakdown requiring replacement, you could just forgo the interest.

    For some of the policies, a boiler replacement won't even be covered after it reaches, for example, 7 years old.

    Thanks. The mortgage is with the Halifax. We'd much rather sell but may have to rent. Thought we'd gather some advice before tackling the lender...

    The number you need to call is 0845 602 9717 , press option 1

    Let us know how you get on.

    Good luck!
