£88742, 17 year term, fixed at
2.09% for 2 years, payments of £528.28/month, interest charged daily. Just after a rough idea of what capital I will pay off in those 24 months and how much is interest as I want to offset some further borrowing with over payments.

google for a mortgage calculator.

So how come the mortgage provider was so unhelpful in providing one?

Because your only guaranteed rate is the 2 years. Who knows what the rate will be after the 2 years for the next 15. So lenders would not provide/publish this to you as part of your mortgage application / offer.

No I was only after a prediction of capital remaining after the two year term. You usually get a projection. Wouldn’t even give me a rough figure.

mortgage companys as nice as they are dont want astute borrowers who understand what they are borrowing …. they want maximum pennies for the least work.

your asking the wrong questions.

Not sure what lender you have used in the past but you would not “usually” get that from a lender. Many years ago Halifax used to provide it but it does fall outside of FCA regulation hence I would be very surprised if you got it now.

Four years ago we got a sheet of A4 covered in many numbers for projections of the first five years fixed by month then the rest of the term by year, at the rate of their SVR at the time.

We got ours through a broker, so perhaps he did it rather than the mortgage company themselves.

Or maybe they didn’t give you one because it’s just too depressing how much disappears into the bank’s coffers…

If your mortgage was interest only then 88742 at at 2.09% would be £214.46 per month. Your 528.28 – the 214.46 is a/the capital repayment. 528.28 – 214.46 = 313.82 BUT only really valid for first payment. 313.82 x 24 = 4618.76 capital balance reduction over 2 years. But is a slight under estimate as 313.82 is the first payment only.

Sorry per year reduction 4618.76. Times by 2 is estimated reduction over 2 years. I have 2 beers!!!
