    Not sure what you mean...
    Maybe wait till the rate does actually change, see how you feel then.
    There's different ways of looking at money when rates are low, or high. It makes sense to over pay when rates are low, as you have the spare money from cheap repayments. It's also nice to borrow loads and spend loads whilst borrowing is cheap!

    Thanks

    I was referring to Natwide overpayment reserve options think theres 2 or 3 choices

    any overpayments are held in reserve and ive chosen to use existing reserve amount to reduce mtg term

    There is an option for natwide to auto increase my standard mtg payment if and when rates rise

    Though I could cope with making a manual adjustment nearer the time as you suggest

    trying to think ahead and prepare for the invetable rate rises
