    how do you work out the best rate if you need to combine 2 current mortgages into one?

    Thanks in advance

    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.

    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.

    need payments, terms, time left on the 2 year fix and penalties.
