Mortgage redemption statement

Hi I have received a mortgage redemption statement and on it interest has been added. I have to pay an early repayment charge but this is separate. Does anyone know what it's for? If I paid a lump sum off would it reduce it?

    What? What the interest is for (from last payment date to assumed redemption date) or the ERC (repaying in full or in part before end of special rate period?)

    It just says insurance added and then about £800 it's from nationwide

    Interest is due until the debt is finally repaid. The lender doesn't quote a fixed figure in case redemption doesn't occur on the given date.

    So I don't have to pay the £800?

    Interest will be added to your outstanding mortgage loan until the date it is repaid.

    An early repayment charge is applicable if you are repaying the mortgage before the end of a fixed term and is based on how much is still outstanding on the loan.  

    You can usually pay a lump sum up to 10% of the outstanding balance, once a year.

    However, read the terms and conditions of your mortgage.  We can't see them from here.

    Have you ever read the terms of your mortgage?? And all the paperwork/electronic stuff you were sent when you took it out?

    A ERC (Early Repayment Charge) is a payment that you owe your lender for ending the mortgage earlier than agreed to compensate them for the lack of interest you'll be paying.
    This will have been clearly laid out in the terms you agreed to when taking out the mortgage.

    I know about the ERC that's listed on there as well as the interest
