    If you have a repayment mortgage, bear in mind that if you put capital into it it will be very difficult to get out again if you need it. You can get close to mortgage rates from savings accounts, and you can often beat them with other investments, and although there is often an emotional desire to get shot of a mortgage there may be better options.
