Which mortgage to over pay?
Comments

Keep upto £16K in the offset account as emergency savings and then if you have spare money pay 5% off the mortgage on the bungalow.
You should be able to offset the Interest you pay on the flat against profit you make on renting.0 -

Personally I would keep your options open in the medium term.
One option is to have an offset mortgage on your residential property. That way you could accumulate funds, that a later date could be drawn down to clear the BTL mortgage. Whilst still reducing your residential mortgage in the meantime.
If you don't intend retaining the BTL property I would just clear the residential mortgage instead.0
