  • There is an appeal in setting the period to ten years and just paying the £1,200, having that cost gone would be nice. That said I probably spend more at Pret each month than the current mortgage costs me, so it's not a huge thing I suppose.

  • If you're within a decent period of retirement (10 years), I think the best thing to do is bury any overpay in to a SIPP, take the 20% uplift (tax rebate) and then pay off the mortgage with the 25% tax free drawdown. Ezy gainz.

  • I understood each one of those words individually.

    I'm old, but not quite that old, yet.

  • Thanks for that suggestion.
    Different circumstances, but can gain from a Government funded lump sum in 10 years time.

    Presumably one needs to find a broker to set up a SIPP.
    Any recommendations?
    The only firm I have had any contact with, in the past, was Hargreaves Lansdown,
    but, with their founders' support for brexhit they will never profit from the sweat of my brow.
