What is an offset mortgage?
With an offset mortgage your current account, savings and mortgage are all connected together - though each in separate accounts. When interest is calculated, each balance is taken into consideration and the savings are offset against the mortgage. For example, your mortgage might be £100,000, but you have a savings pot of £20,000. That means that you will only pay interest on £80,000.

...You may want more information before making a decision on a new mortgage. While offset mortgages offer lots of benefits and incentives, they are not the right deal for everyone:
If you have plenty of savings and money in your current account, an offset mortgage can save you interest
However, any funds in your current account won’t gain interest. This isn’t so much of a problem when interest rates are low, as they currently are
Higher savings helps you pay off your mortgage faster
All of your other debts can be consolidated into a single sum (including credits cards, secured loans and store cards), so you can enjoy lower repayment interest rates
Of course, the more you consolidate, the longer it will take to pay off your mortgage
Unlike current account deals, you can still see your individual accounts, making it easier to budget and control your expenditure
Because it suits people with an unpredictable income (particularly those who are paid in large lump sums) this is a popular deals with self-employed people, contractors, or people on a bonus scheme
However, the extra flexibility means that interest rates are generally higher than other mortgage types
