    I am 56 and currently have a 1.34% fixed rate mortgage until May then the fixed term stops and I go back to real world rates. I am currently overpaying the Mortgage..
    From a mathematical/financial point of view it would be better not overpaying, but putting the equivalent amount into savings paying a lot more than 1.34%. Regular savers for example, paying 6% or more. 
    Even an ISA paying 4% would see the OP being £140 better off by this time next year.

    Up until his fixed rate deal ends, in about a year's time.
