  • Question on mortgage term lengths if anyone's already worked through this recently.

    We're very far in the buying process. But it's still possible to change a 2-year into a 5-year mortgage at a slightly higher rate (original quote, in July, was 0.5% more - I suspect it'll be higher now if they need to re-write the terms though).

    At 0.5% higher I'd spend about 2k more over the first two years. But I think it's possible that rates will jump to a point where I'd eat that 2k savings (and then some) in the following 3.

    Anything else I'm not considering?

  • Anything else I'm not considering?

    Changes in income / outgoings. Ie kids.

  • Was going to add this one too,

    We decided to start moving during my wife's maternity leave and as a freelancer running a LTD company it put our plans of porting the mortgage into the dirt, our mortgage broker has said they've become pretty strict in recent years
