Overpayments when on a lender's SVR

Hi

currently have a fixed term mortgage with Platform where the initial term ends at the end of September next year. Early repayment charges apply to overpayments during the fixed term.
Maybe a stupid question but would I incur any fees if I was to clear the mortgage once I revert to the SVR (I'm assuming that's what happens by default, I've only ever remortgaged to a new lender in the past).


Thanks,
Chris.

    No. You may attract a redemption fee though, you should check this. It usually isn't much, however.

    If you wait till the end of the fix you can overpay as much as you like.
    You maywell be able to overpay 10% during your fix.
