    I drew down my mortgage in 2020 May and was given the 2%. As a first time buyer I was told if I kept to the terms of mortgage I would be given another 1% in 5 years if I kept to terms. Anyway Ive overpaid 10% to date of each payment and also paid another approximately 2.5% of the whole balance recently as an overpayment without informing the bank . Will this pass the test of the 1% free in 3 years? The reason I ask is Ive sent off to fix for 5 years after the initital 2 will be coming to an end in a month and I persume theres a cooling off period if they dont allow it and I might switch the mortgage to another provider as the fix hasnt happened. Id appreciate to find answer one way or another as the 1% is .2% discount off the rate if divided into the 5 years I planning on fixing for bringing to 2.8 and if the initital 2% is added it brings the rate to something like 2.55 which would be average. I suppose the danger is rates climb to 6%? Then I really am in trouble but hopefully this will not happen. Thanks
