Me and my bf have been together 4 years - I am currently 23 he is 26. We are planning on buying our own home in the next year. We have a very substantial deposit between us and the plan is then to aggressively pay down the remaining mortgage, then save for a (potential) future move so we don't have a mortgage again.
Has anyone done this/had experience of this I can't think of any cons but then again it was my idea...
By the date we plan to start looking we will have £120k deposit and should be in the position to be paying £20k per year off the mortgage (including the standard payments.)
