Did you know a £200,000 mortgage at 5% over 40 years means you’ll pay £263,136 in interest alone? 😬
That’s more than the mortgage itself.
But here’s what changes when you shorten the term:
📉 35 years = £224,133 interest - saving £39,000
📉 30 years = £186,671 interest - saving £76,465
📉 25 years = £150,882 interest - saving £112,254
Same mortgage. Same rate. Just a shorter term, and potentially over £112k back in your pocket.
Now, a shorter term does mean higher monthly payments - but even shaving a few years off can make a huge difference over time. It’s one of the simplest things to look at when reviewing your mortgage and circumstances.
