What to do?

I have 15k left on my mortgage. My last deal ended recently. Now I’m paying 4.2% on it.
i don’t really want to borrow more, so what do I do. I’ve been offered deals, some very good, but again, by borrowing more.
ive looked at just getting a loan.
can anybody offer some suggestions.

    Surely your mortgage company have offered another fixed deal if only for 2 years?
  • This is only a thought, I'm not sure if it's the right thing,  but what about somewhere like First Direct who offer unlimited overpayments?  So you borrow £30k over how many years,  then you throw £15k straight back on it,  leaving you with £15k left to pay. So long as you don't pay the whole amount off in the fixed period, you're fine.  (Obvs check the terms and conditions though!)
  • Other thought is, a 15k loan is not that different to interest rates...2.6% or something?
