Hi folks
Overpaying on our mortgage is definitely a goal once my/our current finance agreements are paid off.
It's likely I'll be left with car payments only as it's a 5 year plan and then also the mortgage. I wanted to know if it's silly overpaying on a mortgage when you've still got debt on a car and if I should concentrate on the car first? It's likely we won't change the car (due to be collected this week) for at least 3 years if not the full 5.
Thanks for any advice!

What type of car agreement is it, HP, loan, PCP?
What interest rate are you paying?0 -
Sorry for delay - thank you for replying.
It's a loan £12,190. 3.99% a year, flat rate fixed / 8.7%APR. Due to end March 2023. Monthly payments around £200.
Mortgage is £148,500 over 35 years at 3.04% until July 2022. Then changes to 4.49% for remainder unless I switch. Monthly repayments are £575.
Hoping to be debt free in the next 1-2 years from the credit cards so will just have these two left.0
