    Wow I didn't include my BTL in this because I've always viewed it as my second pension, to be honest! Although when I took Vol Redundancy it was a consideration to maybe have it to move back into (which I still might have to do at some stage)

    Also I have to wait until they do their recalculation sometime in the summer to see what it's state of play is!

    But I have been getting mine down - I have another overpayment to do in a week or so and then I will post an update.

    wow, probably should join here as well - my main residence is at about 150k, but the two btl's/ltbs would have me at the top of the table - sorry second reading through the text...

  • can I join too please - mortgage outstanding £136470 not sure when it'll be under £100000! needless to say it'll be some time!
  • You're in the right place, sparkly star! Well done and welcome!
  • interesting to see so many people on here with BTLs! i also view ours as investments rather than a drain on finances as (partially thanks to low interest rates) ours are quite profitable each month.

    i think for the purposes of this thread/challenge, i will ignore our BTLs for now. particularly as the interest is tax deductible on them and obviously not on the residential mortgages! but if it makes people feel better (!) our total can be updated so as not to leave poor Tilly at the top of the league!

    Hi Kitjos, molit, and sparklystar...

    My other mortgage isn't technically a BTL as i'm selling it at the moment - it's only if the sale doesn't go through or we don't get another buyer that we'll be renting it out. Once this house has gone my mortgage will be a "reasonable" £166K :eek::rotfl: plus some family loans to pay back so i'll be way down the list - sorry Tilly..
    Mortgage amount at 31/12/2011 £166,050 now £0 as at Sept 21 - 15yrs 4 months early.


  • Hiya Shala_moo, I am definitely feeling quite lonely up very close to the top. I intend running down this hill as quickly as possible bearing in mind I still need to have a life....

    Best wishes, Tilly
