Mortgage Overpayment
Definition
Paying more than your required monthly mortgage repayment. The extra money reduces your outstanding balance, saving you interest over the mortgage term and potentially shortening it. Most lenders allow overpayments of up to 10% of the balance per year without early repayment charges.
