The first house I bought could have been purchased with a £25k–£30k deposit, but I chose to put down £75k. That significantly reduced my monthly mortgage payments and meant a much larger portion of each payment went towards the principal rather than interest.
As a result, I was motivated to make regular overpayments, and within four years of buying the house, I had enough cash to pay off the mortgage in full.
I say this to highlight an important point, homeownership isn’t just about having your name on the deeds.
The real win is owning the property while paying the bank as little interest as possible. The most effective way to achieve that is through OVERPAYMENT.
