    4) 3 bed town house
    5) 186k
    6) August 2004

    9) Natwest Variable rate 5.6 ends in 18 month can also pay off an extra 10%
    10) about 13k

    When I met the wife we both had a property each she made 100% on hers and I made 40% on my flat when we bought the above property we still had both of ours untill they sold.

    I have managed to pay off a fair bit, i take a standard salary from my business and every now and then i take some extra to pay the mortgage off. I aim to have paid it off totally in 5 years.

    cheers then people.

    it is very interesting to see the rental prices as well for the differing types of property around the country, ie £200pcm for a 2bed flat (mates rates or not that's bloody good! lol) and the Hong Kong £4200 pcm, !!!!!!!!!!!

    ;)

    The market value of the flat we rent is a bit over 1.5 million quid, so the rent is a low yield (3.3%) yes, HK rents are still mad! But property here (on a square foot basis) is now cheaper than London.

    What I find interesting is the low levels of savings other than housing.
