What specific question do you have or what issues are of concern to you?

What way should I approach my pension? Should I max it out at 15%.

I intend to buy my sister out or she will buy me out so we can both have our own places. What stamp duty am I liable to pay if I buy her out? 3.5%?

What way do you reckon we should go on the mortgage with the fixed rate up in April?

Reduce the capital amount to get a 60% LTV rate?

Any recommendations greatly appreciated

You are probably not getting the best rate/return possible on these savings. See the Financial Best Buys forum for a list of the best lump sum demand and term deposit accounts/rates.
