no thanks I think ill stay where I am, too much hassle, thanks for the advice though. I fixed my mortgage in 2008 for 5 yrs and it was fixed at a high enough rate I cant remember the exact figure at the minute I was thinking maybe I should 'shop around'. can you reduce the years you have left on a mortgage without hassle for example I have 33 yrs left I want to bring it down to 30 yrs
