A mortgage of £100,000.00 payable over 25 years initially on a fixed rate for 5 years at 4.34% and then on our current Standard Variable Rate of 8.24% (variable) for the remaining 20 years would require 60 monthly payments of £546.26 and 240 monthly payments of £745.16.

The total amount payable would be £211,649.00 made up of the loan amount plus interest of £111,614.00 and application fee £0, product fee £0, valuation fee £0, funds transfer fee £35.
