ERC Skipton

Sorry to ask here but having spent 2 hours today on the phone/chat to Skipton without getting through I thought someone here might be able to answer my question. 

Origional loan £117000 in 2019 5 year fix. 
Renewed (product transfer) mortgage at £79000 march 2024 with Skipton 2 year fix. 

ERC is 1.25% it says the original loan amount. Am I right in thinking that's the 117k not the 79k when I took out the new fix? 

Any help would stop me screaming at the call centre if they ever answer. Affordability isn't the issue, I just like to know things. Thank you

no it should be 1.25% of the balance when the new product was taken - that's what most do - although you need to check with Skipton ( sorry ) - did you get new mortgage doc when you changed product?

Thanks for the reply. In all honesty I don't remember. It's strange for me as I'm a paperwork hoarder but for the life of me I don't remember/can't find it and there isn't anything I can see online.

Well it will be a nice suprise if it's the lower amount anyway

I'm looking at a Skipton offer and it says "1.25% of the balance at the date of repayment" in year two.

I'm a bit rubbish at this so that would be 1.25% of the balance now?
