Thank you very much.getmore4less said:
Lets go with £250k mortgageTerrace said:Could I please sense check my calculations.
I do rent at the moment 1000£/month
I will have 5% deposit in April of 15000£.Looking to buy for 250000-300000£.
Even if interest rate is 1% higher 95% LTV then 90% LTV and there is 2year fix deals then If I buy with 95% LTV would be overpaying roughly 2500-3000£ a year. Over 2 years roughly 5000£ ( intend to overpay the mortgage)
It would take me another 7-8month to save for 10% deposit in that time I would pay another 7000-8000£ in rent.
So clearly I grab 95% LTV mortgage as soon as I potentially can.
Am I missing something?
25 years say 4% and 5%
You pay an extra ~£5k in interest over the 2 year fixamount rate payment owing £250,000.00 5.00% £1,461.48 £239,426.74 £250,000.00 4.00% £1,461.48 £234,332.33
put the full £15k down buy at £265 LTV now ~90.2%, should be there with some overpayments
if rent is £1k and you can save £15k in 8 months(£1.875kpm) you easy have £2k to throw at the mortgage.
go with the 300k 15% deposit borrowing £285 still using 4% and 5%amount rate payment owing £285,000.00 5.00% £2,000.00 £264,536.44 £285,000.00 4.00% £2,000.00 £258,809.97
LTV 88% need £2400pm to get to 85%LTV .Clearly there is no point of saving for another 6month if I can get 95% LTV mortgage.
My aim is to overpay the mortgage by 1000£ a month for the first 2 years while interest rate would be about 5%. And I aim to get to 85% LTV at least ( might push for 80%) by the end of 2 year fix.I am now paying a rent of 1000£ and save around 1750-1900£ depending on the month. And live comfortably and have got not massive but decent emergency fund.So would be happy for mortgage payments to be around 2500£ a month for first 2 years. Then would aim for 1800-2000£ a month to pay it off within 15 years in total.0 -
depending on the rate you may need to keep the initial term down to 25years or less to avoid hitting 10% ERC limits in the second yearTerrace said:

I guess I can always save up the rest and pay off more before fixing another deal.Very grateful for the advice!0
