    Thankyou so much guys. Still waiting on the paperwork from the bank to make it "official".

    Would you believe that they gave us the option of finding our own solicitor to do the amends to the house deeds to remove their name, or they could do it for free.....erm....You can guess what i chose. :p

    Finally got something in the post! "Thankyou for paying your Santander mortgage back blah blah blah".

    One part made me laugh...

    "If you completed your final payment after october 2003 then your deeds are held electronically at the land registry"

    How often do they update their template letters!!?? Crikey

    Just catching up. Wonderful news all round. Many congratulations
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
  • I subscribed to your old diary JimLad, but missed this one... A lot has happened in four years!

    Congratulations on becoming mortgage free, and on soon becoming parents! :j

    I hope you keep posting - I enjoy reading about life after mortgage :)
  • Love this - congratulations!!!
