    Congrats 🥳 hope all goes well! 

    Do try to overpay your loan though ;)
    If you believe you can, you will. If you believe you can't, you won't.

    Secured/Unsecured loans x 1 
    Credit Cards x 8 (total limit £55,050)
    Creation FS Retail Account x 1
    Creation Credit Sale 0% x 1 = £112.50pm x 20 mths
    0% Overdraft x 1 (£0 / £250)
    Mortgage Outstanding - £137,707.00 (Payment 13/360)
    Total Debt = £7,400 (0%APR) @ £100pm - Stoozing

    That’s particularly helpful and too late. Thanks anyway! I only wanted a bit of advice on loans not a discussion about my choice of property which is very suitable. I would go into my reasons but that is not what this forum is for. Just to say it is extremely difficult to find any suitable housing at all if you become a wheelchair user.
    I'm continuously surprised by this odd view that unless a question is directly addressed by a post it is not helpful.

    Perhaps getting comments that point out the lunacy of buying a house without the ability to pay to "finish it off" might make you reflect and not make that mistake in future.

    But from what I've seen in here it'll do little good.
