    Thanks for the above mate .... what about arrangement fees etc ?

    Also what is halifax searches?
    It's likely to be the mortgage report & valuation fee, not a search fee.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/homes/property/mortgagecalculator.shtml - you can mess around until your heart is content. It is not spot on but should ot be more than a couple of pounds out one way or the other.

  • Thanks for that mate. Does the calculator not tell what's going towards interest and what's going towards capital? Or is that 2 confusing ?

    It does not tell you that no, its just a basic calculator.

    Have a look on google for an amortization calculator. The first link is in $, but just image the £ sign and the figures again should be more or less right.
