We're overpaying by around £200/month, the overpayment goes against the capital rather than the interest, and therefore reduces the interest by a fair amount - and the total amount we're paying is the same as it was before we remortgaged for a lower interest rate, we just kept the payment the same rather than dropping it by the amount we saved.
Seemed sensible, I'd love to get shot of the mortgage as early as possible.

On that note, we're trying to decide whether to overpay our (fixed) mortgage payments or save/upgrade the home. We can afford to overpay quite a lot.
Just thinking ahead to eventual interest rate rises and remortgaging in 2yrs time...
