Settling with a Re-mortgage
In settling your agreement, a further advance on your mortgage often seems pretty appealing because of the lower monthly payments. However, there are some pitfalls worth bearing in mind before going down this route.
While the smaller additional mortgage payment can indeed seem attractive, the term of the further advance is tied into your outstanding mortgage. For example, if your mortgage payment only increased by £85 a month it may seem inexpensive when you're looking to settle a £10,000 finance agreement. But on the other hand, when you consider you may have 20 years left on your mortgage, £85 per month for 20 years totals up to a considerable amount more than £10,000!
Not only are you paying more than double the amount borrowed, but you are also paying out far longer than you're ever likely to own the vehicle.
