The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me compare two mortgage or loan offers like for like.

Offer A: [rate, type, fees, term, early repayment charges, other costs]
Offer B: [same]
How long I expect to keep it: [years]
My priority: [lowest monthly, lowest total, flexibility]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A like-for-like table of monthly cost, fees, and total over my expected time.
2. Differences that aren't about the rate.
3. Questions to ask the lender or adviser.
4. A clear summary of which looks cheaper on my numbers, and what would change that.
5. Point me to MoneyHelper; remind me a regulated adviser may be needed.

Show the sums. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, figures or products. This is help organising my own numbers and wording, not financial advice; point me to MoneyHelper, GOV.UK or Citizens Advice for guidance, and to a free regulated debt adviser if I'm struggling to pay. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
