Our mortgage is up for renewal in April and we'd initially planned to use the equity from our house to purchase another property outright as a buy-to-let. However, the draw of being mortgage free by 40 (3 years) is too great and so instead we're aiming to stretch ourselves to pay off this house in full by April 2025. 😬
My husband is on £52,000. I'm on £7,000 (but also take on self employed work). We do not have large outgoings. It's just my husband, myself, our five year old son and a cat. My husband works from home 3-4 days a week.
Is this even possible?! Am I crazy to think that we can pay £100k off in full in 3 years?! 😬 Would I be better to withdraw the equity and essentially have another income instead?...Original mortgage total: £140,000.00 (July 2015) Original mortgage end date: June 2040
Mortgage free start date: 16th October 2018 Mortgage total at this point: £132,829.12
Current mortgage total: £54,762.71 Current mortgage end date: June 2032 Daily interest: £7.59 > £2.641
