    might be a good idea to pay off a lrage chunk of your car loan (if no early repayment penalties)with the overdraft (say £750) and leave the remaining £750 just in case you go over any time (theres always something thats forgotten) .
    First home- Oct’16 until June’21: £170.995- Overpayments made £13,784 (25% extra!).
    New forever home- Sep’21 £309,449 @ 2.05%. Plan to clear it before 30 years!!!!!!
