Wondering how much people pay per month for their mortgage...

We currently have our house on the market, looking to move to a new build property nearby. New mortgage has been quoted as being £805 per month. That's more than we are currently paying but actually less than I thought. It's a bigger property and to move up a size the prices go up considerably around here. We aren't well off, don't have a fat pot of savings or equity in the house so, as I see it, that cost is about what we expected. We know of lots of people with mortgages more than that.

A friend asked the other day what it is likely to cost per month and commented it was a lot of money. So, out of interest, I'm wondering what people are generally paying for their mortgages???

I read someone’s reply on a thread a few weeks ago and she basically said she doesn’t know anyone who pays less than a grand a month Hmm.

We pay £500 a month. We had a substantial deposit and are up north.

£1050 a month on a 500k house. 12 years left until paid off.

HiJenny35 · 01/06/2019 00:54

We are paying nearly twice what you are considering however it's all totally relative, we have shortened the mortgage term so we pay it off quicker and this isn't particularly a large monthly amount for where we live so it's just such a huge question. I know people with pretty much no mortgage and some with higher than us.

We have two :)

Main house is £1390 a month, nearly kills us. Other house is £390 a month (accidental landlords)

I think it’s better to think about what percentage of your monthly earnings go on the mortgage.

£562. 3 bed semi in a nice area in NW England. Bought a year ago.

Gomyownway · 01/06/2019 01:01

£1300 for a three bed semi in Manchester.

We only had a five percent deposit, and hoping to remortgage this year which our broker estimates will drop our payments to £1000

£1100 three bed semi Essex, 24 years left.

Sweetheart1313 · 01/06/2019 01:03

Less than £500 a month, 3 bed semi in the Midlands in a pretty decent area.

Northernlassie1974 · 01/06/2019 01:05

Thanks all, hmmm percentage of income wise it's about 24% of our monthly income, not sure if that's good or bad??? Mortgage would be for 30 years 😫 which also makes me nervous!
I go through phases of thinking 'it is what it is' current house is just too small, we need a new one, that's what it costs. And phases where I feel a bit panicked as it feels a long time committed to working full time etc.
