Just been informed of my half yearly bonus which is way more than I'd forecasted. I'm now moving my mortgage-free date forward to October the 15th. That's 300 days away!

No 49 checking in - I'm aiming for £6000 to be paid off the mortgage in 2009. Hopefully it will be a lot more but with hubbie working for Halifax and a new CEO in my department I can't be too optimistic!!!

Just set up the arrangement to overpay £250 per month for the next 12 months. I have calculated that this will save me £782.26 in total interest until September 2014, assuming I don't extend it into 2010. That's 2 months of mortgage payments!

Sign me up please - will be starting a First Direct offset SVR mortgage on the 3rd of January, Mortgage will be approx £160k, house valued at £185k - approx 86% LTV. Looking to reduce mortgage to 80% LTV (£148k) by 1st Jan 2010 so that i can get a First Direct Fixed offset when rates start going up again.

I am going to add myself to this list as I am so inspired by this board. I am aiming to overpay £1000 for 2009 - some months will definitely be more difficult than others but I am going to go for it while the interest rates have come down for a bit. Not sure exactly how much is outstanding on my mortgage as I get an annual statement which should be with me at the beginning of Jan 2009 but it is about £66,000 - sounds so low compared to others but we still really struggle sometimes.

Will pm my details to be added to the thread

Heres to 2009 - the year I begin to chip away at the mortgage

Hi,

I would like to take up the challenge of becoming Mortgage free with you.

Yet another person who has lurked on the forum but now coming out of the closet and declaring intenetions !

We have sorted all of the usual culprits already, not aiming to starve ourselves but we are fortunate to have good levels of disposable income.

Mortage now £146,000 with 18 years to go.
Small overpayments through 2008 - December onwards we will hit £1000 of overpayment.

Calculator says 6 yrs 7 months - we want to do it in 5 max !

Wish us luck !
