£75 to switch to Interest Only!?

Hi guys

Hope one of you can help. I would like to switch my mortgage to Interest Only for about 4 months, or maybe until my current deal ends in Janurary, then I can switch (I cant get out of the deal as there is a £2k Early redemption fee)

I called Natwest and they said I can switch but it will cost £75 in admin fee's? Is this correct? Any way to get out of it or claim it back? Thanks in advanced.

    You are asking them to complete a transaction which will cost them money. It is only fair you pay for that and £75 is a tad expensive but in line with what you would expect.

    Sounds right in a commercial world and not over the top.
