    It is hard. Maybe get a couple of agents in to value and ask them what they think?

    Mortgage overpayment £200 ..Total overpayments this year so far are £5600

    MC ..Not so good this week but still ok .£100.64..Total saved this year £3252.81 mostly now in our ISAs but some in PBs ..

    My earnings this week have also gone in to PBs ready for any work we need to do on our house and garden
