Interest only paid - how much after sale of property?

Hello there,
If have a mortgage for £105,000 and have paid interest only, if I sell for £135,000 - would I receive £30,000 minus the redemption fee?

Sorry if it's obvious but am getting into a pickle!

Many thanks

    Yes ( and yes , it's obvious, the clue is in the word "only". You only pay the interest)

    Does give some substance to a thread a week ago where most people thought that "interest only" was obvious but one poor soul didn't seem to understand that ! Now it seems there are two.

    Don't forget the other fees you'll pay when you sell as well. Not just the redemption fee.
