Over paying on 2 mortgages?

Lennylor
Posts: 3 Newbie

Hi,
Looking for a bit of advice. I have 2 mortgages. 1 for my home and the other for my parents home. Both mortgages were recently renewed and both are around the £120k mark. I would like to overpay £200 per month, should I split this and ovepay £100 to each mortgage or is it better to focus on just the 1 mortgage?
Thanks in advance

missing information.
what are the rates and fix/full terms?
what is the goal of the overpayment?0 -
Mortgage 1 is for 116k fixed for 5 years at 2.1%
Mortgage 2 is 138k fixed for 5 years at 1.74%.
I would like to eventually pay off both mortgages.
Thanks in advance again

I have two mortgages (for different reasons than yours) and I took the view of focused on 1 at a time. No idea if this is correct but either way I want them both paid off, both on the same rate although one's fixed rate ends sooner than the other so that slightly influenced my thinking.0
