Morning Hive Mind,
Before I start down the route of a excel spreadsheet and no-doubt reinvent the wheel, does anyone know of a re-mortgage calculator for the following scenario;
Before I start down the route of a excel spreadsheet and no-doubt reinvent the wheel, does anyone know of a re-mortgage calculator for the following scenario;
- Quit 5 year fix with 3 years remaining and paying exit fee
- Re-mortgage onto a 10 year deal, fractionally higher interest rate
- Exam question - what would the average rate have to be for years 4-10 be to break even on paying the exit fee on the existing deal and the marginally higher rate for years 1-3?

In 3years you will be £5.5k behind over not switching
rate needed then to break even ~2.2%2 -
So if 2.2% is the breakeven then I ask myself, "will I be able to re-mortgage @ 2.2% or lower in 3 years time"? Hmmmmm0

If you have a spare £4,500 plus other costs to move lenders then overpay every month instead.0

Nationwide put their 5y fee fix up to 1.74% on 24 Feb some lenders are already over 2%
(nationwide low was 0.84% last Sept)
Here is the table for the difference in 10y based on a few rates in 3years time.£147,046 1.50% £99,587 £6,581.18 £147,046 2.00% £104,263 £1,905.59 £147,046 2.20% £106,182 -£14.04 £147,046 2.50% £109,116 -£2,947.68
I used the add the fees model if we use the overpayment of the fees it looks like this.Mortgage £160,501 payment £720 ERC/FEE rate 1.49% £3,500 new rate 1.66% £999 Time Years months Left on current 36 New fix term 0 120 amount left after(months) 36 Start rate End £160,501 1.49% £141,342 £165,000 1.66% £146,862 amount left after(months) 120 £160,501 1.49% £93,165 £165,000 1.66% £100,858 Switch when ERC £0 Break even rate needed no fee and fee) 84 £141,342 2.343% £100,858 £142,341 2.217% £100,858 £142,341 1.50% £94,362 £6,495.43 £142,341 2.00% £98,852 £2,005.68 £142,341 2.20% £100,695 £162.20 £142,341 2.50% £103,513 -£2,655.22
