Loan question

Hello,
I've got a mortgage, the interest on this is 4.24%. Got another 9 years on it.
Just seen a loan (from another bank) where (its seems) I can get a loan for just under my mortgage balance, and the interest is 3.0% fixed for the loan life (7 years).
Would you take a deal like this, or would you just pay extra every month on your mortgage?

Hi, just be aware that the 3% figure is a representative example and will only be available to the top 51% of borrowers. For everyone else (49%), that rate is subject to status.
I work within the voluntary sector, supporting vulnerable people to rebuild their lives.
I love my job

If you can get it at 3% I would be tempted to go for it - providing there are no early redemption fees.
Have you actually tried to remortgage as there might be an even cheaper way to go if your credit is good.I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Pensions, Annuities & Retirement Planning, Loans
