    fireuptheband, yes i'll post any other advice i find here, as were in the same baot it seems, please do so on your part aswell!

    My aim, is to over pay my current mortgage and invest the lump sum, so in 4years time the figures will meet and i'll mortgage free :)

    Yep, will do.

    The readies won't be 'ready' until early next year, so am just sorting out where to put it for now.

    Hopefully, we may be in a position to receive £60K.

    We sold 50% of old property to my sister and she wants to now by the other half.

    Would we be liable to capital gains? We have no mortgage on our half, so would just receive the cash.

    Was also wondering where best to keep it. We have a mortgage on our current property, but are unable to make overpayments for the 2 year term (18 months left).
    Would like to keep it (60K) somewhere for these 18 months and then pay off some of the new mortgage, which is at 4.69%.

    Any help, greatly appreciated. :beer:

    You can always pay it into my account if you are really atruggling for ideas! I will look after it for you :A
