    #46 May I please add 5k for May and 5k for June?

    Thanks 

    I'm FTB, not an expert, all my comments are from personal experience and not a professional advice.
    Mortgage debt start date 11/2024 = 175k (5.19%)... Q1/2026 = PAID (3.94%)

    My first post of 2025 and I'm happy to be back! I have been quietly overpaying for the last 12 months....and sadly an inheritance pushed us unexpectedly further along... and as a result we're hurtling towards the end. The bank have put our payments down to £94 a month, but I'm still classing anything over £475 (my old amount) as an overpayment. 

    #75 OP for June £374
    Mortgage when saw the MSE light 💡: £85,000 (end date 2045) up to £112,000 for house move (end date 2054)
    🍾 1st May 2026: mortgage free! 

    🏡New goal: enjoy spending then save 15,000 for 'forever' home by Dec 2028!

    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end
