To save or to pay a bit more to mortgage

Hi, guys

just looking for some advise, i have £10k savings and wondering if it will be better to pay it to mortgage to reduce it since i have £59k payable for another 11 yrs with 1.5% on it with Bank of Scotland or should i just put it to Santander fix rate ISA of 3.3% interest.

Thanks for your help

    If the net savings rate is higher than the mortgage rate, keep it in savings. If that ever changes, review the plan.
