Seems everyones life revolves around their mortgage.
hey doire, got a slight issue with people wanting to stop paying so much interest on their house loans have you? would love to hear your story. some people want to pay off their debts, some want to pay off their mortgage - wheres the harm in that if its done in a controlled manner? as little bit rightly said, my money, my choice.Start Date 28/04/2007
Original amount outstanding = 152,500 Current amount outstanding = 103,000
Original LTV = 61.86% Current LTV = 33.22%
Original Pay Off Date = Apr 32 New Pay Off date = July 2024
Total OP = £15980 since Feb 20120 -
Hi LB,
Quick question..how are you overpaying the little amounts? Have you got one of those 'one account' mortgage things? or do you set up an internet banking payment for each OP?
It's a great idea, we're in the same sort of situation except it'll be another 3 years before we can afford to go back to a repayment mortgage because after my maternity leave I started my Dip in Nursing so we're surviving on hubby's wages and my bursary :eek:.
Good luck with it all!0 -
I make an internet banking payment each time. My statement looks a bit funny when you see all these tiny little amounts being paid, but hey who cares - apart from Doire :rotfl:Mummy to 3 fabulous boys all under 4 :eek:0

Only another £140 k to go before you can enjoy your life. And if you die before then....well at least you tried.
Who said you have to spend money to enjoy life? Making your money go far is fun......:money:

hi LB
Wow - I really hadn't thought about making payments that size! Genius idea.
