Looking for some guidance on the below.
Currently I am over paying my 340k 25 yr mortgage by €400. I was wondering whether I should continue paying this or whether it would be more beneficial to reduce term by another 5 yrs to 20 yrs which would roughly equate to the same amount I am paying now on a monthly basis.
To me the main disadvantage of reducing term is that I am stuck on higher repayment if circumstances change etc or if interest rate on mortgage, currently 2.25%, increases which should be unlikely over the 12 months. However I am comfortable making these payments at present and it is not affecting my lifestyle. Therefore I am better reducing the term rather that continuing with the repayments.
Would appreciate any advice.
