    Hi can I join please. I'm hoping to overpay 10% of my mortgage balance every year for the next 5 year so we can take early retirement 😊 So in 2020 I'm hoping to pay an extra £568 per month. I've already paid this amount in January.

    Hi, 
    reporting in for second time for February!

    #121 another £389.16
    total for feb=£519.16
    YTD = £649.16

    thank you! 

    will be calling the mortgage co tomorrow to discuss rate switch! (Fingers crossed)! I can’t remember who’s thread I was reading but like the idea of always ending the mortgage with a 0, a 0.00 or a 00.00 or 000.00 depending on how much you can afford that month. Will be starting that from this month! Have set up my transfer so easy and no excuse!

    #62 Reporting my first overpayment in February of £25.  
    Hopefully more at the end of the month but wanted to transfer my topcashback money before it got lost into my account and wasted.  Thanks Julicorn and well done everyone x

  • #93 checking in with another £10 overpayment for February. £20 for the month so far. I do hope some more freelance income comes my way in the near future so I am able to overpay a bit quicker.

    Thanks for updating. :)
