    You could give Halifax a quick call and ask them what the monthly mortgage cost would be if you changed to repayment. Then see if it is affordable to you to change.

    Then you can decide on whether to maintian the ISA as tax efficient savings.

    You could then also shop around to see if there is a better deal with another lender.
