ENB has 31 years Andy, chances are he'll be lucky if he's not negative equity.
I'm stuck at 5.something for another year and a bit, was by far the best deal I could get.

I fixed at 3.99% so seemed reasonable given that I have myself 2 years to get myself straight!!

Yea, I have 31 years left. With overpayments, it'll be paid off in within 13 though, at least that's the plan.
Luckily I'm not in neg equity either, 5% deposit, worth £120k, owe £108k.

may be a silly question but how do you know if you're in neg equity?
our house cost us 176k, is valued at 185k and mortgage is 156k, thats pos equity right? as i have 19k difference there.
apologies if being a retard, i just got a letter through detailing 35 years worth of repayments and total repayment was 297k.

What it's worth minus what it would take to pay the mortgage off.
If you owe £156k and it would make you £186k then you're £30k up currently.
The £297k is what it'll cost you to pay it off if you own the debt for that amount of time, ie. while you're trying to pay it, it keeps going up.
If you sell you won't have the debt long term and it won't grow like it would if you kept it.

word of warning - it might be valued at that but its what they are selling for that counts
However its irrelevant unless your thinking of selling
I could have got about 15k more if I was willing to wait for the right person to pay that but it just doesn't work like that any more

true.
we had an offer of 179k when we put it on the market a year ago (was up for £182500 then) but the current selling price in our area for the same type of property is 185k as we asked a few estate agents. not thinking of moving any time soon though, but it's still worth knowing.

It better to ask the question whats the % of income, rather than actual cost.
Over paying the best option, can reduce term by 10 years.
