Better to pay off mortgage, or leave it as is?

I understand that Snarffie but the balance won't be falling that much.
This isn't a mortgage being paid off over two years (AIUI) it's a longer term mortgage that happens to have a two year fixed period. Then it would go into SVR or similar (hence the comment about going onto SVR i think). So each year the balance would drop only slightly.
If as you think it is indeed being paid off over the next two years them I agree with you.0 -
AnotherJoe,
The OP hasn't specified a term beyond two years, and without this info, the question can't be answered.0 -
Need more info.
does the penalty drop to a lower level at some point like Aug 2017
what's the full term/current payment.
what are the terms of the max over payments
Is there a charge to change full term down to 2 year.
to better a £900 fee today you need to be able to do penalty free payments of at least £613pm across the 2 years.
A penalty free lump sum now will reduce that amount.0 -
Like other have asked, OP you should clarify the mortgage terms beyond two-year horizon..is your mortgage fully paid off if you keep up the payment for another two years?0
