I don't understand mortgages.
My step-dad helped me with mine and luckily I got a flexible one just as the interest rate went right down. Luckycowlols.

I'm okay with the basics but unsure how to do the comparisons.
Like, do I compare my current one with 23 years remaining with a new one over 25 years, or should the new one be 23 years too, blah blah.

Get minicatfaceceilidhband to point at the screen with her dummy.
It's as good an option as pouring over the figures.

This fails. She doesn't have a dummy :(

I'm thinking of just selling up and moving into the awesome tent.

That would be your best option.
Too late for a gypsy wedding though : (

That's the trouble
They're not all the same, so it makes them too complicated to compare. And tehy try to dazzle you with MONEYSCIENCE!

I had an interest only, and before I sold the flat, I was tempted to switch to a repayment but keep the endowment. I see what you mean. It is confusing and boring.
