Some time since I paid off my mortgage so things have probably changed but I paid it off gradually by selecting to pay off the borrowed capital only rather than the total debt which includes interest.
By doing capital only you automatically reduce interest to be paid in the future.
The other thing to remember is because you pay a fixed sum each month depreciation helps for your payments further down it's life.
However also early years are paying off mainly interest on the higher borrowed amount so later years you are paying off mainly capital with little interest.
