Mortgage - paying additional amounts

We are saving additional funds for our mortgage to assist with endowments that may fall short when our term ends.
We have a lump sum to pay off and someone said if we pay it before December it is better as they take this off before adding interest.

Can anyone advise on this....

    You need to check your T&C to see if the interest rate is calculated daily, monthly or yearly. If yearly then yes pay in before December.
  • Hello Sarkin
    Thank you very much for the info, I will check our T&C's double check. Better get a move on as we are nearly at December!
    Thanks very much
  • Hello Sarkin
    We paid our additional funds in November and you were right. We save the interest on the additional amount we have paid. We are already stashing for next years lump sum too
    Very grateful
