Trying to work out the best mortgage deal for us. Help needed.

We are currently looking to get a new mortgage.

We are porting our current rate over to a new property costing £180,000 and are trying our best to work out which deal is best for us.

There are a few rates we are looking at a 10 year fix & a 5 year fix both are 70% LTV

We are porting £59,000 at 1.45 (0.95 above BoE) and need to borrow a further £67,000.

£67,000 10 Year fix 3.89% with £1499 fee costing approx £370 a month
£67,000 5 Year fix 2.99% with £499 fee costing approx £336 a month
Then we add the 1.49% rate at approx £235 per month

What we cant work out is if we took the 5 year fix and over paid £100 per month on the 2.99 rate would we have a 60% LTV after the 5 years so we can get the best deal around? Assuming our property is still worth £180,00.
Or
Would we be better off overpaying the 10 year fix by £50 for the term.

I hope I have explained our situation with enough detail and would be very grateful for any advise people could give us. Or point me in the right direction so I can try and work it out for myself.

Regards Rob
