I hate to be the cynical one here but what's being proposed is a hike in the money that you pay to the banks for the money that you borrowed. There is no increase in the level of serveice or ANY benefit to yourself but your paying an extra £500 each month (going on the values provided) to you mortgage provided, And who's giving this advice ?

very dodgy figures there in that article...
a repayment mortgage of 80k does not cost £200 a month!
more like £491 a month at 5.5 percent over 25 years. if this increased to 9.75% then you're talking £712 a month which means the repayments have gone up by around 50%.
