Should I stay or should I go

Looking for a bit of help
Just accepted an offer on my house and had an offer accepted on a house and am just working through the mine field of deciding which mortgage to go with
Current situation in a 4 year fixed deal with nationwide which runs out in April so will have to pay 1% on my current 65.5k mortgage to leave
Now spoke to them and with no fees they can offer 2.54 on a 205k mortgage with me putting 35k down as deposit which is 82% LTV now I do have further savings of around 10k so could put the extra 6k in to take it under 80% LTV but it doesn’t change rate with nationwide
Now from my research Sainsbury’s and metro seem to be best deal and I can get
82% ltv
Sainsbury
2.14 £995 fee £250 cashback and free valuation
2.34 £0 fee £250 cashback and free valuation
Metro
2.14 £804 fees
80%LTV
Sainsbury
2.08 £995 fee £250 cashback and free valuation
2.24 £0 fee £250 cashback and free valuation
Metro
2.04 £804 fees
Now question is how much worse off would I be staying with nationwide and if it’s better to leave is it worth over 5 years putting the extra deposit in now and not keeping the savings for decorating and doing that gradually
Huge thanks in advance

The quick calc is rate difference * mortgage * years
The real saving is less by a few £100 max.
First check is fee/no fee 0.002*200k*5=£2k. fee are better
82%ltv £4k
80%ltv £4.5k
To get that actual saving for your term add fees make payment the same and see how much is left in 5 years.0 -
So sounds for a few hundred better o stay with nationwide and not to increase deposit ?0
-
It is not a few hundred it is £1000s, less a few hundred because you are on repayment.0

Appologies if I misread your post and it’s 1000s not 100s
Which do you think is best option
Stay with nationwide
Got with sainsbury
Go with metro0 -
There is more to changing than rate.
You could look at 2 years and getting down to 75%
What about overpayment retention deal other fees SVR. Etc0
