    DH and I are both 26. We started saving to paying off ours at the age of 23. We should be mortgage free before I am 28.

    But we'll be buying somewhere bigger at some point, however we will have a 60% plus deposit by then meaning repayments on our next house will be really little anyway.

    It's never too early to start overpaying. Our house wasn't particularly expensive (cost 100k) but we will have paid off the mortgage within 6 years of buying and we never though we'd do so well!
  • cupid s you are the same age as me with the same amt mortgage do u mind me asking how much you pay and overpay your mortgage by. my mortgame is 6.94 and cost us 660 a month
  • Mortage free by 28 is pretty special...

    I'm almost 38. :)

    If I'd stayed in my previous 2 bed house I'd have been mortgage free for a few years now but I moved to a much nicer 3 bed semi.

    Mortgage was £83K now it's £51K and I hope to be mortgage free in about 3 1/2 years on a £150K house.

    I do hope to get a detached one and that may have to come first.

    You are all doing really well .
    I only started overpaying about 18 months ago .
    I am 41 and would like to clear the remainder by the time I am 46 ...It does depend what the future throws at me.

  • Im 22 and my OH is 28. Im paying off debts now but have also been making small overpayments to the mortgage as and when we can. We need to remortgage in 2 years and I want to get a bigger place by the time I am 30 giving us 8 years.
