What would the repayment be?

Hi

Is this how it works when you move onto lender's SVR from a lower fixed rate:

Original deal: £100k loan @3.5% for 3 years on 25-yr term = £501 monthly repayment
..pay off £20k over 3 years...
deal moves onto SVR @ 5%. 80k loan remaining and 22 years of term left = £500 monthly repayment

So essentially the payments don't change?

    You've paid off £20k in three years of a 25 year mortgage?

    That can't be natural. Have you been overpaying?

    If you have, yes, if £80,000 @ 5% over 22 years is £500 a month. I trust your calculator works as I'm not going to do it myself...

    You haven't paid off 20k over three years unless you've been overpaying.

    You've paid 20k to the lender over three years, the majority of which would have been interest.
