    I'd like to join please. I'm new to this site and forum. 
    Mortgage at the start (July 2019) = £158,747 with 18 years remaining. Goal is to pay off within 10 years. 
    Current remaining (as of 1st April) = £148.213
    Currently overpay £250 automatically each month. Looking to make a down payment of £5k this week (potentially more) from savings depending what our remaining overpayment allowance is. Will update with figures once I have them this week. Looking forward to getting to grips with being a MFW!

    Hi, and welcome to the forum! Let me know how much you're planning on overpaying this year (i.e. your goal), and how much you've overpaid so far this year (I'm assuming £250 each month, but checking just in case), and I'll allocate you a number :)

    Hi team,
    Another £547.58, which makes May total £997.58 I think. 
    Slightly regretting the overpayments already as I'd forgotten I had to pay car tax/insurance and then my mother-in-law needed new phone and iPad. To cut a long story short, it's come out of our account, which is fine because she'll pay us back when she can get to the bank (who know....?) but it just makes the accounts look a little borderline just now. 
    Still, payday tomorrow, and all the money we overpay we don't have to pay interest on anymore, so that's something to enjoy.

    Hope everyone is hanging on in there, in this increasingly irritating situation. 
    Bb

    Hi, and welcome to the forum! Let me know how much you're planning on overpaying this year (i.e. your goal), and how much you've overpaid so far this year (I'm assuming £250 each month, but checking just in case), and I'll allocate you a number :)
    Hi, yes, overpaid £250 each month so £1250 so far this year. 
    I should get a mortgage statement next month as it's a year since we took it out so it should have calculated all of our overpayments in then too. 
    Goal for 2020 is to overpay £8,000.
    Initial 2 year fixed Mortgage (July 2019): £158,747 over 18 years. Overpaid £14,250 in Year 1, £13,400 in Year 2. Total mortgage reduced by £40,790 in 2 years. 

    New Mortgage (five year fix at 1.81%): June 2021
    Current Balance (01/06/2021): £117,957 over 14 years. Total overpayment in 2021 of £13,850. Lapsed tracking! Total Owing November 2022: £100,513. February 2023: £97,535. April 2023: £88,739. July 2023: £87,481. August 2023: £85,512. November 2023: £83,053. 

    Original End date: June 2039. Now June 2035. *GOAL* Mortgage Free by 2030.
