If my savings interest rate is 2% and mortgage interest rate is 1.98 % is it worth overpaying ? I don't get penalised up to 10 % of balance outstanding?

As the differential is so low you are better off paying down the mortgage. As the mortgage interest rate is going to rise above your savings rate in due course.0

For now you could move up to £2500 and earn 5% interest on it. Also you can earn 3% in Tesco current accounts.
Once your current mortgage product comes to an end you will need to re-evaluate.0
