      Indeed, if it didn't work the first time and the second time, what the hey, it may work the third time!

      I can see the headlines six months from now...record inflation causing misery.

          Most banks allow you to overpay your mortgage by upto 10% a year and this is not dependent on whether your mortgage is interest only or on a repayment basis. Ideally, your mortgage interest is calculated on a daily basis. Therefore you will feel the benefit of any overpayment you make the next day.

                In my case this is only during the "product period", i.e first 3 years then I can pay what I like. So come October I will be revving up the repayments.

                0.25% reduction would only mean saving £100 per month to me on the couple of mortgages I have.

                  Offset mortgages , you can pay the lot off.

                      Most don't have them though. I thought, standard, in a mortgage, you couldn't pay more than 10%, so haven't bothered throwing all the rent in to the mortgages. Fecking idiotic not reading T&C's properly.

                      Mortgages are low, around £300 a month interest only, rents between 1000-1200 so it's been frankly stupid if I can pay them off more than 10% a year.
