Paying off early

Options
I currently pay £600 a month mortgage while it’s on a fixed 1.9% interest rate till 2022, will these arranged overpayments be taken in to account towards my 10% a year charge free Or will I be able to pay another 10% on top a year?

    So the £600 is more than your contractual payment? If so, it will count towards your overpayment 'allowance'
  • Usually pay £346 a month but pay £600 because I thought hitting it while the interest rate is low make sense to me

    Why would low interest rates incentivise you to overpay? Surely it's the opposite.

    What alternative form of action would you suggest?
