Hi all,
I've threatened a diary for a while now. Here goes.
Option 1 -Pay off in less than 10 years with intention to rent out
Option 2 -Pay off AMAP to gain higher equity to use for up-sizing
Option 2 is most likely IMO as we may have another child in the next 10 years which will mean up-sizing is almost inevitable.
MORTGAGE STARTING BALANCE- £140K
Mini targets-
Dec 2016 - Balance below £100k - COMPLETE
Dec 2017 - OP £6k- COMPLETE
Dec 2018 - Balance below £75k - MISSED - £76,285
Dec 2019 - Balance below £65k - COMPLETE
Dec 2020 - OP £11.5K in May COMPLETE/ OP £14K in June COMPLETE/ Mortgage Neutral Dec 2020 COMPLETE - September 2020!!!!!
Dec 2021 - OP £14k in June/ Balance below £10k
Lets see how I do
Mortgage Term Reduced by 10 Yr 3 mth

Good Luck with your journey. Looking at your signature, we have similar mortgage balances, although my term doesn't finish until 2035 :O0

You must feel really good having a house worth 200k+ and a mortgage of half that :]
Great EF as well if you had say 20k left of the mortgage would would you use the EF to pay it off ?Mortgage--- [STRIKE]£67700 March 15[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£65221 April 15[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£64983 July 15[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£64780 sept 15[/STRIKE] Remortgage [STRIKE]£67295 oct 15[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£66599 Nov 15[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£65878.73 Dec 15[/STRIKE][STRIKE] £64834 1st Jan 16[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Feb 16 £64,511.89[/STRIKE][STRIKE] March 16 £64,056.40[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]April 16 £62550[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]May 16 £62,396.20[/STRIKE] Feb 17 £60.800

Yes I am def happy with our LTV.
I am in 2 minds what to do with the EF. I am thinking of using it in 2017 when my fixed deal comes to an end and making a bulk OP. In the meantime I will need to save another EF as I don't want to never have anything readily available, just in case!
I might edit my original post and include that as a mini challenge. I recon I would need at least £6k in a new EF. I will aim to save this and see where I am in 2017.Total Mortgage OP £61,000Outstanding Mortgage £27,971Emergency Fund £62,100I AM NOW MORTGAGE NEUTRAL!!!! <<Sep-20>>0 -
Ya great ltv
Ya the EF is great to have in place. i think its a good idea to pay a lump off after every fixed term endsMortgage--- [STRIKE]£67700 March 15[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£65221 April 15[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£64983 July 15[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£64780 sept 15[/STRIKE] Remortgage [STRIKE]£67295 oct 15[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£66599 Nov 15[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£65878.73 Dec 15[/STRIKE][STRIKE] £64834 1st Jan 16[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Feb 16 £64,511.89[/STRIKE][STRIKE] March 16 £64,056.40[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]April 16 £62550[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]May 16 £62,396.20[/STRIKE] Feb 17 £60.800

If I manage to get the balance to £100k I think the thought of bulk overpaying to make it £80k will tempt me.

Feel free to tag along. The more the merrier
Am I right in reading your signature? In 2013 you had £133k and now you have £116k? If so well done, that's a big reduction in so little time!
And we are at similar balancesTotal Mortgage OP £61,000Outstanding Mortgage £27,971Emergency Fund £62,100I AM NOW MORTGAGE NEUTRAL!!!! <<Sep-20>>0 -
Yes, that's right and I'm aiming for below £100k by the end of next year :j
We're on similar timescales, though my savings pot is half the size of yours and if I carry on paying close on £1k a month to mortgage, I won't be saving much I suspect, but let's see how it goes. Half the fun is looking back and seeing how far we've come.Back on the DFW Wagon:
