The Case of the Overwhelming Mortgage

Interestingly I know the people interviewing me and they gave me every chance, including an extra question at the end to clarify an answer. It is all point based so I can only hope I have enough points from application, presentation and the few questions I did answer well.It’s not the end of the world. I have a job, bills will be paid, it would have been a good opportunity - that’s all!

No one does a perfect interview! Don't think about it now, there is no changing it!
Regardless, well done on your interview. They are hugely stressful so getting through one is an accomplishment in itself.3 -

Hi, I'm very late to this party but just wanted to join in here to say congratulations!! I was drawn in by the thread title as I'm about to apply for a mortgage and wondered if there were any hints or tips I could pick up.
It was lovely to see that you had been successful with your job.

Smaller overpayment today but brings us down to 97000s. Mortgage payment and next overpayment will bring us down to 96000s. Working a bit less over the summer so less to throw at mortgage. Hoping to add another £100 a month to it when I go full time.
Emailed payroll about increasing stakeholder pension contributions. Will see what they say.2017 - mortgage of £140,000 and interest rate of £10 a day

Another overpayment and now down to £96000s and £5.59 in daily interest. Asking pension questions on the other board but still not quite sure what to do. Payroll have let me know I need to contact SPPA to increase payments to my NHS pension or stakeholder so at least I know how to do it now.2017 - mortgage of £140,000 and interest rate of £10 a day
