Mortgage Nearly Gone!

Options
We have been over paying our mortgage for the last few years and our balance is now less than our monthly payment, so the mortgage will be gone in September. We have an offset mortgage and will have paid it off about 9 years early. There is a £250 sealing fee and I was wondering if we left £1 owing in the mortgage account would we need to pay the £250 and is that even possible?

    what are your plans now?
  • I've an offset mortgage with FD which has had through linked accounts a credit balance for 12 months, no issues, but get no interest paid.


    Can keep the facility open for another 19 years

    Well done, we are in the same boat as of tomorrow.

    My advise is don't rush into anything, let the savings increase for a wee bit.
