This advice use to work 10 years ago. I bought a flat for 600k, if I pay the set amount for 30 years, I would have paid a total of 1.5m. 900k in interest to the bank. So yes, I’ll make overpayments

But you can’t generate 10% returns without risk.

How is it a good thing paying back 0.80p for every pound I borrowed :/

Agree. All depends on the interest rates of your debts and investments/savings, and what level of risk you’re happy with.

Thanks 🏴 :
Paying off the mortgage early is a low risk investment. Some people aren’t comfortable with higher levels of risk

Biggest consideration is tax if you’re over ISA allowance, 5% post tax (interest) is more like 7-8% pre tax

You're missing off that you're not only avoiding paying 5% debt, but you're gaining capital appreciation on the property. Not saying what's right or wrong, just factor that in.

Except those gains are taxed at 20 or soon to be 24% unless within a stocks isa which you can only add 20k a year.

I do both, it also depends on tax etc..I’ll pay the mortgage off next year with lump sums from my investments. You can’t beat the feeling of owning your house outright.

it's mainly down to peace of mind for most people isn't it, they see that huge mortgage debt and stress about clearing it as soon as they can

a mortgage rate is a risk free rate. a 10% investment return definitely isn't.

The average rate of return on the U.K. stock market has only been about 6% but it’s not guaranteed and there’s risk you could loose value

Is interest on mortgages not front loaded though? Does it still equate to 5% comparison?

Love your videos, you see finance just like me - there’s a interesting strategy having interest only mortgage and investing the normally capital repayment

This is all true. But it assumes you can borrow at less than 5% and that you can generate returns of over 10%. That’s a wild assumption. That you’ve managed it in the past in no indication that you can do it in the future.
