What to overpay?

Morning,
I have a buy to let mortgage made up of the below :
£72,356 - Interest Only
£19,180 - Repayment
Term left, 15 years at 3.99%.
I am now in a position to start overpaying. Possibly £200-300 a month. Which section do I overpay? The Repayment first and then the IO?
Thank you!

Makes no difference to the cost.
Some prefer the I/O as the repayment bit takes care of itself.
Others prefer the repayment first as it give more flexibility as the contractual payment goes down quicker.0 -
