  • Have unlimited overpayments on my mortgage & have built up an overpayment reserve over the last couple of years as far as i'm aware I can draw back any overpayments on my mortgage should anything bad happen, is it wise to put any savings into overpayments too.

    This month's overpayment is £229. Having just found out that I am being made redundant at the end of April can I revise my target to £3000 please. When I get a new job I will revise it back up all being well.
    Thanks
