Advice Needed Please

Hi,

Im interested in the FD offset fixed mortgage can anyone tell me would i be better doing this

Taking out 52k over 15 years which results in the repayments £414.53

Or

Taking out 52K over 19 Years Repayments are £372.22 and then overpaying £40 per month.

Which would be more beneficial for self.

Thanks for anyone who responds to this message.

    Dear Sexy fufu (lol - love the name and I know the meaning!) Ask FD to provide you with two KFI's (quotes) showing the different scenarios you have asked. You will then have your answer.... The choice will be do you want to be committed to a higher payment per month with FD or have a bit more freedom with the overpayments knowing that they can be stopped at any time if you suddenly choose to whisk a loved one away somewhere exotic and expensive!
