Hi guys
aim looking to remortgage..went to Country wise brooker who shown me two options... (belowe\) but not to sure which one to go with/ Option 1 is great but £995 fee!!:eek::eek::eek:
is it worth to pay it for two yr fix.
or should i rather go with option 2 and use that 995 twards overpayments?
The first one is at around 1.9%, meaning its roughly £502 a month, with free valuation and solicitors, meaning apart from the £150 to Countrywide there are no extra costs for the morgage, however they do have a booking fee of £995 which can be added to the loan. Meaning that it would be adding an extra 995 to save £50 a month so you wont pay off that much equity unless you make over payments.
the second one however is 2.8%, making it roughly £550 a month with free valuation and solicitors, but no booking fee of £995. So there are less costs with this mortage as we wont have that to pay, however with overpayments you will be able to burn through the loan VERY quickly.
is he indicating that option 2 in fact is better?
iam totaly blond confused with baby brain...

Hi ya
well... first was thinking of adding it on a top of M but that will make payments of both mortgages equil ...so no point i think...coreect me if iam wro g
ption two i could use my savings.
(Apologise for any misspeling....as english isnt my first language)0 -
You've found your own solution. Borrow less. Take option 2.0

Thanks for replaing :beer:
So ...just to confirm my thinking
Best option would be CW 1.9% and pay £995 from savings (although that would eat all of them)without adding it on .
But to explore all ways..if:
wouldnt use my savings....would u still go with option 1.9 adding it on top or 2.8 option without fee.
Or
Using £ 995 from savings to pay fee with opt 1.9 or pay overpayments in opt 2.8.
Iam absolut rubbish with numbers :-(:-(:-(0 -
£50 a month is £1200 over 24 months. So with option 2 you are paying an extra £1200 to save £1000. Option 2 is £200 more expensive than 1 over the two year periodI am a Mortgage Adviser

You can ignore adding the fees or paying up front it makes no difference to the way you calculate the relative costs you either have the money or you don't.
Assuming the only difference in costs will be £995 fee.
Add the fee and stick the numbers in a mortgage calculator making the monthly payment the same.
http://www.whatsthecost.com/mortgage.aspx
set to interest only set the term to 2 years and see how much you owe.
Will have to guess the amount borrowed which can be critical to the calculations.
1. 1.9% £502pm
2. 2.7% £550pm
That's a mortgage of around £108300 (22 years) NEED the real number to be more accurate
adding the fees to 1. and setting the payment to £550 on both after two years
1. £100035
2. £100970
Paying the fee is worth it based on that mortgage.
I say again need the real amount borrowed to do the proper calculations.0 -
