What is the interest rate? How much is the amount you have to pay a month (without any overpayments)?
70K over 14 years isn't that unreasonable, if anything 35 years seems like an incredibly long time.

You should be able to just enter the amount, interest rate & number of years into a mortgage calculator and compare the monthly payment with what they are taking.

If it doesn't match then adjust the term until you the repayment matches, that should be how long you'll keep paying.

I had to go for a 35 year term because I was buying on my own and it was easier to get the mortgage I needed. Ok the standard monthly payment is 264 and I think the interest rate is 1.35 I would have to go dig the paper work out. I have made a lot of over payments I just thought in one year that's crazy going from 35 years to just under 15.
