Help, we are going slightly mad trying to decide what to do with our mortgage. We are lucky enough to have a fairly small mortgage which we currently have as interest only. We know that our endownment is going to be short so we were going to change to a repayment and use the endownment proceeds for other things. At present we have a tracker mortgage with C&G and we are paying an extremely small monthly amount - good for the bank balance - bad for the endownment.
Should we stay as we are or switch to a repayment and get the rate fixed for as long as possible?
Any feedback would be welcome, I feel I should be doing something.

Mortgage £60,000, due to finish in 2015.
House value, was £450,000.
Endownment was due to pay out £60,000 now about £40,000. We never meant to use the endownment to pay the mortgage so we want to swap to repayment.
Only 1 of us working i.r.o. £35,000 salary0
