Pay off mortgage or buy a flat with 100k?

Hi WSO,

Personal situation here: I have 100k left on a mortgage and recently attained 100k.

Question is would it be better to pay off the mortgage straight away or buy a flat with the cash?

Would love to hear your thoughts on what to consider / what you would do?

(No experience w RE so in the dark atm)
