Hi advice requested.
We have 2 mortgages.
Nationwide:
1 is on base rate 0.5& above bank of England £90k (no penalty)
2 is on 2 yr fixed rate 3.79% 107k (penalty fee for moving)
Property value 270k
How do I work out if its worth moving it all to say first direct mortgage on 1.99%
Any guidance would be most appreciated.
Kindest regards

Please can someone respond and offer advice
how do you work out the best rate if you need to combine 2 current mortgages into one?
Thanks in advance0 -
Are the mortgages on one property? Or two separate properties?
To calculate the rate you are paying now, just take a weighted average:
(107 x 3.79 + 90 x 1) / (107 + 90) = 2.52%
So think of your two mortgages as one mortgage of 197k with a rate of 2.52%, plus the penalty charge from #2.
Obviously, you need to factor in the penalty charges and initial costs of the mortgage to do a fair comparison.0 -

Need to know the penalty as it might not make any sense to end that early.
But I suspect you'd likely be better off keeping such a good low rate and doing something with the 3.79 when the term ends.0 -
