I’ve been advised previously to switch but it seems like a lot of money upfront. I’m currently on maternity leave (main earner) and about to start unpaid leave so watching the pennies. We were overpaying by around 32% monthly but now back to 0 overpayment from this month.
My latest break fee from UB was 3580 sent earlier this month plus approx 1500 solicitors fee means I’ll be paying over 4K. But using Brendan’s calculation has got me thinking again.
Outstanding Balance 262,988
Current UB Interest rate 2.9
Fixed term remaining 23 months (sept 2023)
LTV 69%
Avant 7 year rate for <70 LTV is 2.15
So 0.75 (2.9-2.15) x 7 years = 5.25%
262,988 @ 5.25% = 13,806
Do my calculations look right? I’m tempted to raid my maternity funds if I’ll be saving 13k (less 4.5k).
