I have a £60,000 mortgage - 45k on endowment and 15k on repayment, with 6 years left on my endowment policies.
Would I generally be better to:
go for a 2 year (5.79%) fixed rate - 10% overpayment allowed
a 5 year (5.99% rate) to almost take me to the end of the mortgage - 10% overpayment allowed
or a 2 year (5.54% rate) tracker - Overpayments whenever
I plan to go £30k each on endowment and repayment to ensure that my 50k expected payment policy easily covers the amount outstanding.........
I know it's personal choice but what option would you take?
Thanks
Steve
