Would this count?
Personally I hope to have mine paid off before then;) but if 2013 was anything to go by there are several with offset mortgages. Some do what you are suggesting.
As long as you can come up with a figure (target) that you can work to, possibly the amount you want to increase your offset balance by, then call it your op target.0 -
Thanks JCL for the new thread
I would also like to rejoin, havent been on the mortgage threads much the past few months as someone is using it against me but I have decided to carry on regardless. It will be a bit more difficult for me next year with not as much money coming in so will have to set my target as £5k next year.
I have a 10% limit and my mortgage is just short of £30k :j (just made it under for the end of the year) so after I have used my limit (which ends August and restarts) I will put the rest in savings to do a bulk OP when the limit starts again. I only have £1800 of my limit left til August.
My term is now only 3 years and I have reached my second end goal target of Dec 16 :j :T
I am now hoping to be done in two years :beer:MPs left feb '08 276- Dec 13 36 :T MB Jan 10 ~ £82,377 Dec 13 ~ £29987
EMFD was Feb 32 :eek: NOW Dec 2013 its Dec 2016
MF new target Dec 16 REACHED!! :j0 -
Please put me down for £1200, we're remortgaging to cut 6 years off our term so it's unlikely to be higher.0

Thanks for the number JCL - off to add it to my sig
I might not make any overpayments the first two months while I try to get rid of my £2k bank of Mum and Dad loan, but I'll start overpaying after that as I'll start saving at that point too for things we need to do with the houseApril 2021 Grocery Challenge 34.29 / 2500 -

Hi everyone, I would like to join in please
During 2013 I made £3,075 worth of overpayments, which is less than I hoped for but having lost my job due to health issues, I'm quite happy with it. I don't know when I will be able to start working again so I will try a target of £3,500 for 2014 please and see how I go. ThanksThank you to everyone who posts on here0 -
all the best 2014
