I am now officially mortgage free. And homeless.

But with money in the bank.!

Hope the next plan whatever that is works.

Congratulations on the first. I hope the second doesn't last too long.

Congratulations! Hope you find somewhere soon 😊

Thanks! I’ve managed to open a new regular saver and a new ISA - both of which are instant access - with my current bank. I’ll need to keep the money easily available in case I find somewhere soon.

Has anything new come on the market that you fancy?

Heading back over here as I've just exchanged on my new-to-me house, and will be completing on the 20th. So after three mortgage-free months, I've ported my old mortgage over to the new house. 

I'll be starting out with just over a year on my old rate, fixed 5 years ago, which runs to September 2024. 

Once I'm in, I'll be in a better position to decide how much needs spending on the house in the first year, and how much I can OP the mortgage. For now I need to get contents insurance quotes and start planning a gradual move.

Thanks for the update @greenbee pleased to hear you have found a new home.
