    I'm mainly asking because I had a redundancy payment earlier in the year and I was thinking the best (and safest) thing to do would be to use it as offset against the mortgage - but am now thinking i might be able to get more interest putting it into a savings isa which pays more than my mortgage interest.

    In 20 years time you need to find £72k to repay the mortgage. If you've received a redunancy payment then I assume you no longer have a regular income. So I suggest you think carefully what you do with the money.
