Offset Mortgage
The principle of what is known as an offset mortgage
is that you can combine all your borrowings with all your savings
into one account. As well as your mortgage you can combine your current account, savings account, credit cards, overdraft and personal
loans in the one account.
With an offset mortgage you can use your savings to cancel out (or offset) part of your
mortgage. This should mean you paying less interest on what
you borrow. As the amount of interest you pay is calculated daily, most people
will pay less in interest over the course of their mortgage.
With an offset mortgage you should be able to either pay less each month, or to reduce
the time it takes to repay your mortgage.
The advantage of the offset feature is you can always have access to your savings if you need them. So you can make them work to pay off your mortgage, and access them when you need to.
An offset mortgage tracks the base interest rate and in order to really benefit from the offset you will typically need £5000 to £8000 in savings.
