    I just looked on the schedule of a Nationwide case I did recently over 25 years and the end of year two balance was 94.5% of the original loan, so 5.5% was repaid in the first two years.

    Ah yes, that makes sense! Thanks for all you're replies, guys.

    I now know what my aim for the next two years will be. Just hope I manage to stick to the plan!

    Hi Kingstreet,

    Yes, the calculator on this website says that after 2 years I will still be owing £106k which is around about 95% of the initial £113k loan.

    You can always overpay if product allows it

    The % paid off in the first 2 years changes with the interest rate

    for 25years

    rate left
    0% 92.0%
    1% 92.9%
    3% 94.5%
    5% 95.8%
    10% 98.0%


    using
    http://www.whatsthecost.com/mortgage.aspx

    69% £112500 + £51000 = 163500
    60% £98100 + £65400 = 163500

    £112500 @ 2.99% 25 years is £533pm

    after 2 years owe £106,260.

    To get down to £98100 needs a payment of £863 an extra £330pm.

    or save £340pm (less any interest earned).

    this would be the same payment if you made the term just over 13years.

    Also hope that property prices don't take a dive in your locality in the next two years. As this would affect your LTV calculations.
