    Do you have any money in a cash ISA? How much?

    If you have more than £9K then you can transfer to Ruffler bank and save at 6.25%.

    I think that would be better from a number of viewpoints
    1) Better rate
    2) ISA allowance is tax free for life (not just until the mortgage ends).
    3) Money is available in an emergency.

    If you want to reduce the term then you would need to speak to your lender to see if they will allow it.
