£100,000 - £149,999Started with 151k, now 137k remaining, 24 years left.
I'm aiming to get it to 124k by the end of the year.0 -
under £50,000We.ve got 37000 and 8 years left, overpaying by 20 quid a month at the mo, wish we could afford more. Plan on increasing overpaymet by 10 pounds a year to try and shorten the term.0

£50,000 - £99,999It seemed such a shame to vote 50-99 when I owe 51k:(
I see there are 5 people on splendid joint incomes ......0 -
£100,000 - £149,999£135k with 19 years remaining on a lifetime tracker with HSBC of BoEBR +0.99% (so currently paying 1.49%).
I would just add that size of mortgage isn't everything - depends on your income/salary multiples too.
A £238k mortgage is more than manageable if, for example, you're on a £100k income (although if you *are* on a £100k income, you're probably not posting on MSE!).0 -
£250,000 - £299,999ok so we have 2 mortages one is £94891k and the other is £220109k for the same house which is a grand total of £315k. We have 21 years and 6 months left.
Spangled, our joint income is about £150,000. why wouldn't we be on MSE? (just curious)Mortgage: £280,752/ £262,515.84

Hi,
I have had big changes in mortgages in last 12 months.
12 months ago, i owed 25k, and had 7 years left, i was 31 years old, with my house valued at 145k, i was overpaying and getting rid of this debt.
But..........................
My wife and I moved Feb 2009. new house was 240k
New Mortgage at this point was 98k, ( PORTED TRACKER 0.5% ABOVE BASE FOR 25K) 73K FIXED FOR THREE YEARS AT 5%
It is now today around 90k, i have overpayed this year and i currently have 20 years left on it.
Plan is to get rid of this as soon as I can................. who knows when!!:rotfl:0 -

£50,000 - £99,999Mortgage £111500 - £61000 interest only, £50500 repayment
Endowments - currently at £60000 and have 8 years remaining so very happy interest only element cleared.
Mortgage term - 10 years remaining
Current product - Base Rate tracker + 0.18%
Current payment - £457.60 per month but make regular overpayments
Looking to reduce interest only element to £40000 during this year0 -
£50,000 - £99,999i would think a ltv percentage might add to the relievance of a mortgage amount
ltv 20pc mortgage 55314 on svr of 2pc interest only-savings for a rainy day!! no intention of clearing mortgagemfw'11 No68- 55k mortgage İO--little to nothing saved! i must do better.0 -
£200,000 - £249,999Our mortgage will be £225k when we start paying (hopefully in March), which gives us a LTV of 85.5% (I was surprised the valuation came in at our offer, given the valuation on another house we nearly bought)0
