Breaking a fixed rate can be pricey, but it might be worth it - here’s everything you need to know
AI summary
A mortgage break fee is a charge for repaying a fixed-rate loan before the term ends. The cost varies and is calculated by your lender based on your loan amount, remaining term, and interest rate changes.
While fees can be high, refinancing may still save you money if the benefits outweigh the costs. To avoid fees, you can use a floating rate, make allowed extra payments, or wait until your fixed term ends to pay a lump sum.
