Just looking at my mortgage options and wondering how much people pay per month.
And how much of a deposit did you put down?
And how long it is for?
For what price house?

I know it will be different because of the size of the property and when you got the mortgage but I want to get a rough understanding.

Thanks :D

    Just looking at my mortgage options and wondering how much people pay per month. Currently pay £559 a month, will be paying £479 a month from September when I leave my current fixed rate :T
    And how much of a deposit did you put down? £47,000 when I purchased it in 2010
    And how long it is for? 22 years left

    I know it will be different because of the size of the property and when you got the mortgage but I want to get a rough understanding. Mine is a 2 bedroom flat

    Thanks :D
    Hope my answers help :)
  • You are asking very vague questions. You need to have some figures to get some meaningful responses. There are many calculators available that would give you figures based on the figures you put in.

    in 15 years I have spent as much on repairs, extensions, and improvements, as I paid for the house.
    Garage £1200
    Kitchen £2000
    Rewiring £2000
    Central Heating £2000
    Windows £10000
    Loft room £15000
    Shed £700

    Um, not really that vague?

    They are simple questions.
    While I know everyone will be different with different deals and rates, I am still interested to know the basics of the how much deposit, how much monthly and how long for.

    The answers are going to be so broad that it just have to question how any answers will be useful what so ever.

    Surely a more relevant question would be what interest rate are you paying and what is your ltv?

    Purchase price £199,950, deposit £20,000, LTV 90% - mortgage payments fixed for two years at 3.49% - £801.00 ish over 34 year term..

    We plan to make the maximum overpayments which will see our term decreased to about 22years if all goes to plan..

    Part of your question doesnt make sense unless people post how much they bought the house for , then the deposit question makes sense
    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
