Owning the house 100% .. what does that exactly achieve? Frees up funds for next house? That I already have because I havent overpaid ..
I am genuinely seeking an answer for 'always overpay' rule.

I don't think it is an "always overpay" rule. It's an "overpay if it makes sense once you've done the sums rule".
I overpay all savings once they hit a certain point because I save more than I get in interest.

Like I say, it's not a rule - if you can make the money work harder elsewhere, do that.
I think as a guiding principle it makes sense... if you have say a generous company pension and your investments are well balanced and you aren't sure what to do with the extra dorrah kicking around in your bank account at the end of the day.

Yeah, I mean basically if you are afraid of investing and you have debt, and the debt is pricier than the return on savings, pay off the debt.
If you are confident you can make the money work harder for you elsewhere, do that instead.
