Hello, I was looking to remortgage and have the following dilemma.
Existing mortgage:
So I've been offered a mortgage from Nationwide on the following terms:
Existing mortgage:
REMAINING | RATE | MONTHLY | END DATE | |||
£30,103.40 | 2.10% | £344.77 | 01 May 2028 | SVR | BMR | Base Mortgage Rate |
£13,642.85 | 2.10% | £164.23 | 01 December 2027 | SVR | BMR | Base Mortgage Rate |
£14,941.32 | 3.59% | £186.51 | 01 February 2028 | tracker | SMR | Standard Mortgage Rate |
TOTAL £695.51 |
Duration of the loan: a term of 9 years 0 months
Product description: 3 Year Fixed Rate
The Standard Mortgage Rate will apply after the initial interest rate for any remaining part of the mortgage term.
This is a variable rate, set by Nationwide without a minimum or maximum value. An initial fixed interest rate of
1.69% for 3 years.
So the minimum term they will allow is 9 years where as there is a max of 8 years with the existing mortgage. Of course i could overpay and reduce the term of 9 years back down to 8.
But my MAIN question is as the new mortgage drops the entire amount onto the SMR will i be better off staying with the existing none fixed mortgage components where 2 of them are on the lower BMR?
It's difficult to see the short term (3 year) benefits because of the longer term of the new morgtage lowering the monthly payments.
Can anyone work out if its worth the switch?
Thanks in advance

Is your current lender Nationwide?
should be able to do it online next time simple product switch
Merging 3 sub accounts onto the same longer term is like a full application.
