Advice investment 10 years to fire

Partner and I 49 TY. London based Have a 7 yr old. Key expenses - Private schooling + mortgage.

All financials for both hubby and I combined as unit below:

Pensions - £900k.

GIA/ ISA mix - £120k.

BTL 1 - £725k equity post tax/ cost of sales (£34k rent covers repayment mortgage, tax - no real income).

BTL 2 - £1m equity post tax/costs of sale (£54k rent cover tax, repayment and makes decent income - enough to cover half of private school fees- we wish to keep this house for daughter).

No inheritance to come as self made. Hence, keen to pass a good start to daughter.
Own home £745k mortgage + £500k equity. But needs work and needing £200k for it.

I do worry. Hubby works enough to cover our living. But we don't take holidays and livr a v tight life on the salary. So we can carry on repayments on properties.

I am trying to convince husband we need to sell BTL 1 to reduce mortgage burden and add to pensions / ISA/ gia. He says keep.

Any advice? Thanks
