Stuck with a High-Interest BTL Mortgage from Halifax - Overpay, Switch, or Consult Broker

👋 Hi everyone,
I've had a Buy-to-Let (BTL) mortgage with Halifax for a while now and I'm wondering if I'm on one of the worst deals out there. Here are the details:
- Type: Variable Rate Tracker Mortgage
- Interest Rate: 9.6%
- Remaining Balance: £40,000
- Remaining Term: 5 years
- Current House Value: £220,000
- Loan-to-Value (LTV) Ratio: ~18%
Given these details, would it be better to:
1️⃣ Overpay on the same Halifax mortgage deal, or
2️⃣ Change the mortgage deal (either with Halifax or another lender) and then overpay,
3️⃣ Or should I consult a mortgage broker for a completely new deal?
Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. Thanks in advance!

Talk to a broker but bear in mind that due to the low loan amount you will probably need to pay a fee.1

Big picture here !
We know nothing about your finances and your income, debts or other mortgage/s ?
You only owe £40,000 so maybe able to
1 Overpay and clear the mortage
2 Sell and pay the Capital Gains
3 Remortgage your home at a lower rate
4 Speak to a broker1
