As FTB we put down £22k or 29% in 1994 despite several years of pay freezes, then company closure (no redundancy in 1992) and high inflation which was hitting us at that time, with poor jobs market etc. We did overpay but annual interest calcs on the initial mortgage didn't help! Daily interest on later scheme was much better of course and the offset since 2006 has really made a big difference.
Any of the above sound a bit like deja vu?0
