Two options with the same mortgage (2 year fixed at 1.14%):
Select a term of 10 years, pay £1,200/month Select a term of 20 years, pay £650/month and overpay up to the £1,200.
Why am I considering option 2? Because overpayments come off the capital, not a combination of interest and capital.
Would this make sense to do?
