    Yes, it should be fairly easy.
    There is usually a small administration fee which is often about £50.
    I guess this is just to stop people doing it too frequently without thinking it through.

    Don't see why not, two years ago we switched our Interest only to a part Interest only, part repayment. No problems. Very small fee but inlcuded in the repayments. This was with Nationwide.

    I switched 2 years ago from interest only to a repayment and have just used the endowment portion as a a means of saving.
