We were very fortunate and remortgaged last year at 1.6% for five years and having seen how easily the market can spook have decided to prioritise this debt. We can overpay by 10% per annum without penalty but it occurred to me with interest rates for savings accounts touching 3.5% that we'd be better off keeping the savings where they are for now.
Am I missing something obvious that will occur when we remortgage again and the rate will clearly be less favourable?
If it's marginal, then personally I'd also consider the reduction of mental load of overpaying mortgage. If I was going to make <£1k over 5yrs I don't think I'd bother
