Why not choose an interest rate lock-in of 5 years and higher repayment for the financing then? You only have the 100% tied up for 5 years and may then possibly reduce the loan-to-value ratio massively AND the value of the house might increase. Of course it's a gamble, but you don't have to settle for 2% over 20 years. It would have to be calculated including land registry fees etc. whether it pays off.
With that, you're basically speculating that there will be no interest rate changes or that there will be a decrease within those 5 years. You can make this speculation more easily with options on the Bund futures, that doesn't cost any amendment fees for the land charge registration. Potential gain of some tenths of a percentage points versus paying several percentage points more. With such an amount, I'd rather play the lottery!
