I just heard my brother and his wife got a mortgage deal renewal offer that would have taken them from 1% to over 7% interest, but instead of taking it they pulled/pooled all their cash, savings, everything and paid it off instead 🤯

That's one ballsy FUCK YOU.

@nivrig we took out a new mortgage last year and have it fixed for 5 years. Thankfully, as the rate will go up from 1.86% to 7.9%.

@mo Yeah we got in in January at 1% ish.

@nivrig I made an overpayment today. Still a fair whack to go, but I think I’d like to try and get the majority of it cleared before we hit that higher interest rate. It’s a great incentive to prioritise it.

@mo hmm. good point.

@nivrig @mo I'm so glad this has a CW on it so I don't have to read about lucky, lucky bastards who didn't just have to take out a brand new mortgage.

@MarkXA @nivrig I did take one out in August, but it was agreed in January last year so we managed to keep the rate! Sorry!

Finance/Money/Mortgages 

@MarkXA @mo Yeah I would not be happy if we had to get a new one now.

@nivrig @MarkXA @mo hmm, mines due for renewal in a few months 😱
