No 67 reporting for February, with an overpayment of £500 (bringing my 2016 total to £1,000).
I've received my first letter with a revised end date based on my first overpayment. Even though I knew the impact it would have it was motivating to see it in black and white.
Thanks for running the thread. It's really good to see the progress of others!0 -

hello 105 here for my February op, which is £116.52. If its not too much trouble can i increase my target please for the year to £5500
I'm not sure if i will make the new target it but want to give it a go. My fix is due to end in November and have realised (as long as no new price crashes!!) that i may be able to get to 60% LTV if i give the ops a push and increased focus (so fingers crossed that may lead to a lower interest rate when i product transfer.
Well done everyone on the op's so far, really enjoy reading everyones experiences.MFW#105 - 2015 Overpaid £8095 / 2016 Overpaid £6983.24 / 2017 Overpaid £3583.12 / 2018 Overpaid £2583.12 / 2019 Overpaid £2583.12 / 2020 Overpaid £2583.12/ 2021 overpaid £1506.82 /2022 Overpaid £2975.28 / 2023 Overpaid £2677.30 / 2024 Overpaid £2173.61 Total OP since mortgage started in 2015 = £37,286.86 2025 MFW target £1700, payments to date at April 2025 - £1712.07..0 -
Not an overpayment - but my two year fixed is up in March. I went on the principality website and logged in.
It recognised my two year fixed was up and gave me about 16 options of what I could choose. I was going to pick a 5 year fixed which meant my payment would go up about £45 per month but in the end opted for a two year variable rate at 1.55% which means my monthly payment will drop by about £70.
My point is I wasn't expecting to be able to change without providing any current paperwork and it being a simple tick of a box on their websiteYear 2019 (1,700/£17000mortgage repayment)Overall mortgage (71,400/165568) (44
