In some religions a mortgage is usury and so a sin. Hence it would be illegal to take one in the first place. And I do think there is something there.
I would get rid of any debt out of principle because as a man (or a woman) you do not want to own anything to anyone.
One another note I thought this was a contractor forum where people buy the neighbours house out of spite and to house their second Porsche.
Not one giving fringe advice on weaseling around silly financial rules.
We are normalising slavery (mortgage as a death grip) too much. If contracts cannot afford houses paid upfront then who can? Aliens?

I plan to extend or purchase another property within the next 1.5yrs (depending on a lot of factors) so not entirely mortgage free.
Put £85k in the offset savings.
Free mortgage (other than setup fees so just get a high interest one with low fees) and £85k flexible finance available at the drop of a hat.

According to Experian:
No, paying off your mortgage early won't have a significant effect on your credit scores.
A mortgage paid in full will remain on your credit reports at the three national credit bureaus (Experian, TransUnion and Equifax) for 10 years as a "closed account in good standing." At the end of that time, if you haven't taken out a new mortgage, your credit scores may drop slightly because of a reduced credit mix and lower average age of your accounts.
