  • From my first post:
    A little about the mortgage…

    July 2002

    Original mortgage (interest only)
    4.49% fixed rate
    Redemption date = July 2027
    £90,250

    April 2008

    Further advance (repayment)
    5.62% fixed rate
    Redemption date = April 2028
    £106,190

    October 2012

    Original mortgage (interest only)
    2.50% BMR
    Redemption date = April 2028
    £88,660

    Further advance (repayment)
    2.50% BMR
    Redemption date = August 2026
    £79,832

    April 2015

    Original mortgage (interest only)
    2.50% BMR
    Redemption date = June 2016
    £79,134.98

    Further advance (repayment)
    2.50% BMR
    Redemption date = June 2016
    £7,689.30

    If we had continued to OP the further advance (OPs now go to the original mortgage), today's OP would have cleared it :j £106,190 in 7 years :T

    If only... I doubt The Girls will ever show a profit...!
