Monmouthshire BS overpayment
Hi,
Is anyone with Monmouthshire Building Society and has ever tried to make an overpayment?
I’m 28yrs old with a 28yr term mortgage and I’m aiming for mortgage settled by 50.
I’ve calculated and need roughly £250pm overpayment.
I find this wording very confusing, it says you can’t overpay then proceeds to say you can up to 10%. Which one is it?
Thanks

It is a bit odd. It reads to me that you can’t overpay £250 per month but you can overpay lump sums. I would probably save the £250 per month in an account and pay as a lump sum at the end of your fixed rate.
Hopefully someone else will come along who has experienced similar terms.2017 - mortgage of £140,000 and interest rate of £10 a day

I would read it that you can't increase your direct debit, but can make ad-hoc payments? I'd give them a call and ask them to clarify
Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Finally earning interest instead of paying it!!!1 -
As above, I read that as saying you can't set up automatic regular payments but you can make manual overpayments.
