Own as in payed off mortgage? If so that must be a great feeling!

Bibio · 12-04-17, 12:48 PM

thanks peeps.

yes my house is a workshop.. lol

3 bed end terrace. acquired from the council with 59% discount. no mortgage, paid cash (inheritance).

i was in two minds just to blow the cash or buy the house. i wont ever see any gain from buying the house but my kids will. with the way council housing and rules are going i was reluctant to get kicked out of this house and downsized into some shizzy little pensioner/disabled house in later years.

Mortgage free.

Nice. Only 23 1/2 years till I can say the same.

When I made my final payment and the place became mine. It was a wonderful feeling to know nobody can ever take it off you.

In my case the mortgage rates went through the roof in the mid eighties, I never reduced my repayments when the went down and as a result paid off 10 years early.

Congratulations on investing in your kids inheritance. Don't be fooled. It is a place to live. Not an asset to be exploited. That is there job.

WTF..... Someone pass me my shotgun. There is an idiot on the drive waving a compulsory purchase order. Who said they cannot take it off you!

Similar to me except that my mortgage was taken when the interest was 9% and then went up. With 2 incomes we were saving for a holiday as well as paying the mortgage when we realised that by using the holiday money to pay a years mortgage in advance we could reduce our 15 year mortgage to 10 years. Then we got divorced and the settlement meant a new mortgage.
