Pay Mortgage Off Or Save?
2 Answers
Say I have I mortgage remaining of £80K, value of property is £300K. I have enough saved to pay the mortgage off in full (with no penalty fee), but I am earning more interest on the savings ie the credit interest on the savings account is more than the debit interest I am paying on the mortgage rate, what would you do ? And I do not want to move house immediately.

Even if you are paying more interest on the mortgage than the interest you are getting on the savings – I would advise caution against having no savings for a rainy day.
So if you do pay off some of the mortgage, ensure that you have at least 6 months of cash reserves for emergencies such as job loss or other unexpected bills.
