Question
We have emerged from the recession after some hardship and recovering the tracker mortgages as result of tracker examination.
We hope to get some money from the tracker appeal and wondering what to do with it.
The monthly outgoings generally exceed the income and so savings are falling rapidly
When the accumulated tax losses are used up (currently 70k) then will have to start paying tax on rental income
Then I would plan to scale back the pension contributions.
By then the pension fund would be up to 300k and would probably just contribute 8% plus employer 8%
Concerns
The bank has generously arranged some mortgages until I am 80 years old.
One loan of 180k is interest only.
Should I try to pay this down or continue with pension contributions.
Is 2045 too far in future to be paying mortgages?
Total borrowing 600k
If we get a lump sum in tracker appeal: what should we do with it?
As outgoings can be high at moment I would plan to pay down the 30k arrears and put rest in savings.
