    Hello everyone. My discounted 2yr tracker is coming to an end 30th June. I will be moving onto a new 2yr tracker and ofcause it will tracking at a higher margin for the bank above Bank of England rate. As I was on a tracker anyway my monthly payments have been going up as rates have gone up but the tracker was much lower than the new one I will be on. With all this interest rate hikes in mind I have decided to massively reduce my mortgage balance. This is using money I had been saving as a building fund for an extension which I suppose I will put on hold until we know where we are ending with these mortgage rate hikes. 

    This is number 34 here reporting an OP of £101k for june. That is £101000.00. 
    Thank you @julicorn for keeping us updated!

  • Is anyone now saving their overpayments to pay at a later date now some of the interest rates on savings are a bit better ?
    I have been so confused by it all - My mortgage rate is 1.84% currently and easy access savings are at around 4%. I am thinking about putting it away in a fixed rate ISA until I remortgage in July 2027 (or a few months before).
    In my head I was going to be saving so much interest by overpaying, but in reality if I overpay the 10% allowed each year I will be saving £153.30 a year !

    User name should now read NowWhereIWantToBe  

    Amount overpaid so far £8298 (2022)

    Overpayment ready to add to funds when fixed deal runs out July 2027 £23968


    Mortgage end date when taken out : July 2050
    Mortgage current end date : January 2047

    MFW #83 Overpayments for 2025
    Jan £304 Feb £346 Mar £298 April £344 May £214 June £200 July £200

    Daily interest £3.37
    Percentage owned 48.5%
  • Hi #40 here, haven't updated for a while, my update for May is £4k and my update for June is £4k please.

    As I've hit my previous target, please can I increase my yearly target to £46k to keep the pressure on.
