4 years left?

So I have 4 years left on my current mortgage and my fixed rate is due to end in November. Now I have around £17k left to pay. Just can't decide whether to find a new fixed rate deal for 2 years, leave it to the gods of variable or consider a bank loan for the remainder. Just not sure what would be best.

  • You might not be able to get a fix when you have such a small balance remaining. The bank I had my mortgage with didn't do them for less than £30k, so it's probably worth checking
    Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
    Cleared 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️!!! In 5 years, 1 month and 29 days
    Total amount repaid: £72,307.03. £1.10 repaid for every £1.00 borrowed

    Finally earning interest instead of paying it!!!
  • A lot of building societies & banks want £25k debt and upwards for a refix.
