Remortgage advice - Anyone got a calculator!

OK, quick summary. Have a mortgage with Abbey part repayment part IO, coming out of benefit from 5/12/05. Car loan with Abbey and an endowment.

The current monthly costs from December will be

Mortgage £1005.86
Loan £275.18
Endowments £108.20 & £54.70.

The thought is would I be better off using the endowments to settle the loan and reduce mortgage amount outstanding a little, then convert whole mortgage to repayment.

    I have put together a spreadsheet that will help you compare the cost of repayment remortgage deals. It wont take into account the loan though but if you want a copy, post a reply here or sent me a PM with your email address and I will send it to you.
