My plan now is to invest the profit and a sizable capital at once in a new property to reduce the mortgage loan amount as well as the interest.
Another advice i would give is to always look to refinance your long term loan if you notice better/lower mortgage rates. I did that to bring down my interest after 3 years through a different bank.
