If I pay off my mortgage will it affect me if I want another mortgage in the future?

I have enough savings to clear my mortgage. However I am expecting to buy another house in around 5 - 10 years time. If I clear my mortgage now will it effect my credit rating when I apply for a new mortgage a few years down the line?
It make financial sense for me to clear the mortgage, but is there more to consider?
Thanks

Nope. No effects I can imagine.
As long as you have a "normal" credit record next time you apply, you'll be fine.

If you clear the mortgage now you then have 5-10 years to build up saviings towards the next move.
No point paying a higher rate of interest on your mortgage than you get from your savings ?0
