2 mortgages

Options
Mortgage 1 - £35k outstanding, 2.52% till July 2026, 15 years left on mortgage. Natwest.

Mortgage 2 - £159k outstanding, 4.29% till 30 April 2026, 19 years left on mortgage. HSBC.

Both mortgages are below 60% LTV.

I can afford around £800 pet month to overpay.

How would you prioritise overpayments?

    Financially it makes more sense to overpay mortgage 2 although psychologically it might be good to overpay mortgage 1 and pay it off sooner and then start on mortgage 2.
