Hi All
Great to make a start for 2025!#5 £268/£3000
£100 OP and decided to send £168 to a new saver with Principality BS at 8% AER for 6 months as the mortgage I’m currently overpaying is 3.99%. Only opened today, so I thought I’d share incase anyone else interested in one.
Thanks Julicorn3 -
#38 here with an overpayment of £4,600. My mortgage rate of 1.48% finishes in June so I am using some savings to try to pay off as much of the the 10% overpayment allowance before the rate ends.
