What specific question do you have or what issues are of concern to you?
We are due to inherit €150k approx. very soon. We plan to spend around €20k on home improvments but are wondering what to do with the rest. We do plan to pay a significant amount off the mortgage and therefore be in a position to command a <50% LTV mortgage.
Is there an amount we should leave on the mortgage to maximise our FTB tax relief for the next 3 1/2 years and invest an amount to then pay off when the FTB refief runs out.
Should this be in deposit accounts i.e. Rabo etc @ approx 5%?
or
I have only started paying the minimum into a defined benefit pension half way through this year, should i pay enough of the mortgage to enable me to increase my AVC's to the max?
or
Pay the maximum off the mortgage as possible?
All comments welcome
