Overpayments???

Hi all,

I have a £100,000 repayment mortgage that is fixed @ 5.05% for 60 monthly payments and then becomes variable for the remaining 240 payments (currently 6.84%).

I have currently made 21 payments. Should I make overpayments on the remaining fixed payments so that I can reduce my interest quicker and start paying more of the capital? I currently have spare capacity to do this.

The interest payable on my mortgage seems to calculated annually as the annual statement shows interest paid @ 31/3/2007, but will need to confirm with the lender. Some sound advice will be great. Thanks.

Regards

Ammo
