    I fail to see the point of this thread.
    If you want an idea of what payments are for different LTVs/rates/amounts then use an online calculator.

    not sure how hearing about other people's payments benefits you.

    It doesn't directly, obviously. However sometimes people are just 'finger in the air' curious. There's a long-standing 'what's your job and wage' thread on UYI which is similarly 'unhelpful' as you would see it, yet hundreds of others seem happy to partake...

    Surely, if a thread is of no interest, simply ignore it !

    Where did I say it was of no interest?

    Where did I say it was "unhelpful"?

    I've simply asked the OP a question because I'm interested enough to want to understand the answer.

    Because it will give me an idea on what their mortgage is like.

    Perhaps I didn't explain all because I don't particularly want to show my hand. Or in other words, I have no idea about mortgages, know nothing about them whatsoever but this forms part of my research. While it may not seem interesting to you, or seems like a "pointless thread", to me it isn't and has so far been as helpful as I expected with those people who have simply answered the questions rather than dug at details, which aren't relevant to my query.
    I did make an effort to state I knew the figures would mean very little, but I am still curious.
    And most, if not all have put the purchase price down anyway.

    I do hope that clears up everything.

    Just looking at my mortgage options and wondering how much people pay per month. £450 with a 10% overpay.
    And how much of a deposit did you put down? £50K from my wife and then equity from our sold property which totals £145K.
    And how long it is for? Three years, it sounds silly, but we had to move very quickly and so didn't have time to save the remaining amount without taking a loan to cover the legal costs and it was cheaper to go mortgage route rather than a standard bank loan, we took the mortgage out in February.
    For what price house? £150K.

    Ours is a new build two bed flat near Leeds with an ensuite double room and a double room with a wet room, with under ground car park, on site gym (which will soon have a pool) and lovely communal gardens, as we have solar panels on the roof there also isn't a service charge and any surplus money can be used for communal events, for example this week we had a big BBQ for all residents.


    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

    So I have to write here, blah blah blah.
