My mortgage deal finishes at end of the month I want to pay full amount(yes i have sufficient rainy day funds) and clear my mortgage.Do i overpay at 2.44% -and pay a penalty charge? Or pay no penalty charge at svr of 3.99% ?
i phone up Halifax at spoke to a young lad , he said ERC would be £389.87,(i think Halifax have a 10% charge , in line with 10% overpayments per year?) but oddly , he said he couldn't tell me how much i would pay in total at 3.99% .Hence i'm not sure about his figures

You might phone Halifax again tomorrow and hope you get someone else who can give you a clearer picture. Ask them to email or send you the exact figures.

Its not easy to help you decide without knowing the correct penalty charges.
Get a written quote from Halifax.
When I had mortgages overpayments attracted no charge.
Whether it applies to your arrangement I can't tell but one of the deals I had involved a particular penalty if I didn't give a certain amount of notice before paying off the balance (I can't recall how long, some weeks). You might like to ask if something of that nature affects you.
So you have only £3899 left on your mortgage?
If you keep the mortgage and are moved onto the 3.99% SVR how many years would remain? Or are you aslo planning to repay it in one go- in which case it depends on the terms but I think it would probably still be a max of 10%
And is it repayment (doesn't sound like interest only given the small balance)?
