Hi I would appreciate any help on this

To cut a long story short it will cost me £760.18 to recreate a £60k overpayment reserve on my Nationwide Mortgage.


So here are other details you may need
Mortgage rate currently 2.5% (2% over Bank of England Base)
Current Mortgage Balance £29K
Current repayment term: 9 years 3 months (Oct 2022)

I'm trying to work out if it makes financial sense for £760.18 to be added onto my mortgage which would then allow me to borrow £60k back in the future at 2.5%.

I don't currently need to borrow the overpayment back but may wish to in the future E.G to use as a deposit on another house.

So does it make sense for me to add £760 to my mortgage balance now, so i have the possibility of low rate borrowing in the future?

Other option would just be to leave my mortgage as it currently is.

Thanks in anticipation of your help

Paul
