Remortgage, HSBC or Coventry

Help!

I can get a 5.73% 5 year fixed rate mortgage with the HSBC, this will allow me to make a 20% overpayment per month. This mortgage is subject to a £499 set up fee. Or I can get a 6.29% 5 year fixed rate mortgage with the Coventry, this will allow a 5% overpayment per year and has no set up fee. I can afford the 20% with the HSBC and are pretty certain I would be able to make the 5% with the Coventry. Which would offer the best offer?

Many Thanks Goodtimes :confused:

    The HSBC deal will only allow you to overpay 1,146 a year on a 100k mortgage whereas Coventry will allow 5,000. Guess it depends how much you can and wish to overpay.

    does depend on how much you are borrowing , and if overpayment levels would be exceeded- could you have a better home for this money until ERC period runs out
