Well done you. I'm sooooooooooo jealous.

If I was you, I'd get another cage and not tie myself down to another mortgage.

Give up work...

Oh yeah, you're a postie, you're only doing part time now anyway


Well done mate. Personally I'd be sticking as much as I could every month into a high interest account of some sort. Buying another place will only put you back where you started.

I wanna move to somewhere cheaper than West London, so I can get the same for less and write my mortgage off. Problem is, there's no work where I want to go


But you can still go and get an ST

Get another mortgage I think?
Isn't that the way to do it? I think you save money by having a mortgage because of the tax that you save is greater than the interest that you are accruing.

Or is that not correct? I am pretty sure that in Ireland at least, you should have a mortgage at all times for tax reasons.
Like, even if you take another mortgage, and invest that money in something, and use that money to pay off the mortgage, you are quids in.


Somehow.
I think.

No tax advantage in having a mortgage in Blighty now.That all ended yonks ago.I'd spend the money on a holiday or doing all those things you wanted to do but couldn't afford.

That redemption payment is a nice feeling isn't it.

Trouble is, you will always find something else to spend the money on. don't bother going looking, whatever it is will find you
