Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How much should I overpay on my mortgage? It depends on your financial situation, but even small overpayments can have a significant effect over time in reducing your mortgage balance.
Does overpayment affect my monthly payments? No, overpaying reduces the overall loan balance, which shortens the mortgage term or reduces the final payment size.
