Overpayments

Hi Folks, my mortgage is due for re-mortgaging at the end of May 2024. Im with the TSB at the moment. Can i use my entire 10% allowance for the whole year to overpay up till the end of the mortgage term in May? Chances are, i will go with another company when i re-mortgage. I know i can overpay as much as i want if i leave it to go onto the standard variable rate after May. 

Cheers

  • I imagine you can overpay 10% this calendar year then 10% next. Best to check your t & c's or give them a call to double check. The max overpayment amount is set at the beginning of the year so yes should be ok but again best to check incase of differing rules.

    If you're planning to move to another company then depending on the amounts and your interest rate, you might be better off putting the money into a savings account at 5% and then dumping it into the mortgage when you take out the new one.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
