well ive been in a 10 year fixed deal since 2007 at a rate of 6.04 & i borrowed abit more for an extention last year at 3.69, now my house is worth £200k & my morgage is 82k, ive rang up britania & they want 3k to get out of my fixed deals.... so in theory i need a new morgage of 85k ideally on a 5 year fixed, what should i do, my current payments are £654 pm & have 15 years left, any advice would be fantastic

Sounds like you need to drop your rate by about 2% to benefit which should be easily manageable.I am a Mortgage Broker

While you consider your options making overpayments to your mortgage would be beneficial. That's if overpayments are allowed of course.0
