HELP with paying off mortgage

Posts: 19 Forumite
I have a 195000 repayment mortgage (3.69%) and a 75000 buy to let mortgage (3.5%). I have £5000 in savings I want to use to pay off a mortgage. Which mortgage should a pay this off against? Obviously the repayment mortgage is higher at 3.69%, but i get tax relief on the interest payments on the buy-to-let and not sure what level of borrowing i need to keep this mortgage at. Any advice? Thanks. Thomas

As you say your BTL mortgage benefits from interest offset against rental income for tax purposes. So for the current time overpay the residential mortgage.0
