Stage 1 - sell BTL 1 - complete (ish) - exchanged :T
Stage 2 - buy new BTL 2 (to be known as the Bird House for reasons best known to me
) - complete (ish) - exchanged :T
Stage 3 - find new tenants for Bird House - complete :T.
Should have known it would all work out as purchaser has a friendly name
.
No figures & pay off impact till completion in 12 days :cool:.

Stage 4 - pay off mortgage on btl 3 - done :T.
Financially we should have kept it for tax reasons:
Cost of lost tax relief: £150
Cost of satisfaction gained: priceless
Felt great to watch the Faster Payment going through :T:j:D:beer::D:j:T.
Next month will be another 16-17k off the balance (possibly more, negotiations with Mr GG are ongoing
), but as of today we owe:
£60,763.51
giving an interim payoff date of May 16
