    The flexibility or having a large stoozed mortgage pot is allowing me to max out my pension contributions for two years which due to the tax/benefits landscape is cheaper than making the same contributions over 10 years plus means I can contribute now hopefully before the benefits of pension saving are cut back.

    Mortgage is well below 50% of property value so mortgage rates are not an issue (income is more of a blocker).

    For tax reasons DW has to earn all of the interest which does itself constitute a risk....
