Increase mortgage payments?

I am concerned that if I "set " my mortgage payments resulting in less years to pay off, when the interest rates rise, I will not be able to afford the extra mortgage payments on top of paying more anyway, can I resort back to my original term time? Or should I just pay more off, not reduce my term time and just be in credit for the future interest rise?

Your contractual term won't change. Unless you apply to do so. At a change of product or interest rates. The monthly payment is by default rescheduled to the original mortgage term.
By making overpayments. You will in effect be creating a cushion.0
