Journey to mortgage freedom

19 years remaining on the mortgage "officially". I'd love to be done in 13 years.... Doable? Lets see!
Interest rate now 4.29, fixed until summer 2028 ... Probably not the savviest decision a year ago, but we were worried if rates crept up and didn't come down, that a shorter fix may lead to even higher repayments that could be a struggle, and we valued the stability/certainty of 5 years albeit at a higher rate.
Overpaying around 250/month so hopefully this chipping away will make a difference 🤞Starting mortgage Summer 2018 - £213,500
