    This is a very unlucky number ... but I am choosing to make it mean Unucky for the Mortgage Company... 44 = Death Death.



    Death Death to my mortgage.:)

    Hi Julicorn, happy new year! Bringing in my first overpayment at a very small £11 just to start off :) we're currently paying for renovations on our new flat so the overpayments won't be huge just yet!

    edit: sorry forgot to add my number #66!
    Original settlement date: Dec-54 Projected: Jul-55 (due to 3 month mortgage holiday!)

  • Hi


    To those people who overpay on their mortgage, do you:
    Overpay by the same amount each month? or Overpay as an when you can afford to? or a combination?


    How do you OP?


    Any other means of paying off your Mortgage?


    Thank you in advance

    Both - most of mine is a regular amount each month, which I top up as and when I can (either spare cash, or other savings maturing). I've kept the regular OP running so long that it just feels like part of the mortgage, but I could have always stopped it if money was tight.
    How do you OP?
    Transfer between my accounts - with First Direct there aren't any restrictions, and transfers are instant
    Any other means of paying off your Mortgage?
    Not quite sure what you mean, but no - just me and Mrs. L plugging away at it!

    We only make mortgage overpayments after making full use of pension allowances, so in theory we could pay off with the TFLS or something like that. That's years away though, and in practice we have (over)paid the whole thing off in seven years.
