Afternoon all!
I hope it's not too late to join this years challenge? I've been a member in previous years, and managed to overpay our old mortgage by over £10,000 over the years. We have recently completed on our new house which means our mortgage has increased somewhat to £144,000
So obviously I want to get back on the overpayment band wagon!
I'm going to aim for £3,000 OP's this year as we have a fair amount to spend on the house. Nothing structural thankfully, but still expecting to be at least £4,000 we will need to spend.
Have already got the ball rolling with a modest £100 OP for March. Had a fair bit to pay out this month so not sure how much more I'll be able to manage, but hoping I can find some money to make at least one more.
Good luck everyone!New House... New Mortgage! February 2017: £144,000 :eek:
Current Mortgage Balance: £96,440.99
2017 OP's:£5,935 2018 OP's: £11,956.00 2019 OP's: £11,988 2020 OP's: £1,998

#7 with an overpayment of £300 this month. Our fix ends this month so from next month our normal payment will be £250 less which means we'll be overpaying by at least £250 from now on

No. 67 reporting over-payments for February and March, at £600 each. So £1,800 in total for 2017 so far...0

I took a loan (cheaper than my mortgage for the same life as my mortgage) so I overpaid £15k.
I guess that's me done for this year as I hit my mortgage OP goal.
However, I will be tracking that I save up the same amount as originally wanted to OP in cash so I can overpay on 01/01/18 straight away...
