    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 Julicorn

    #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.  

    Hoping to make a further payment from extra money earned later in the month

    Mortgage debt start date = 25/10/2024 = 175k (5.44% interest rate, 20 year term)
    Q4/2024 = 139.3k (5.19% interest rate)Q1/2025 = 125.3k (interest rate dropped from 5.19% - 4.69%)
    Q2/2025 = 108.9K (interest rate 4.44%)
    Q3/2025 = 98.5k (interest rate dropped from 4.44% to 4.19%)

    There's no 'date to join', you can join any time this year. It's all explained in the first post as well. If you give me your target I'll assign you a number.
