What is an offset mortgage?

Offset mortgages are totally flexible arrangements that tie together your current account, savings and mortgage. All are kept in separate accounts, but when the interest is calculated, each is taken into consideration. This helps reduce interest payments. For example, your mortgage might be £150,000, but you have a savings pot of £20,000. That means that you will only pay interest on £130,000.

Is an offset mortgage right for you?

While offset mortgages offer lots of benefits and incentives, they are not the right deal for everyone. Before making your decision, it’s worth considering the following advantages and disadvantages:

 If you have plenty of savings and money in your current account, an offset mortgage can save you lots of interest

 However, you won’t receive any interest on your current account savings (though savings rates are very low at the moment anyway)

 This works to help you pay off your mortgage faster, and save you money

 All of your other debts are consolidated into a single loan (including credits cards, store cards and personal loans), so you can enjoy lower repayment interest rates

 It’s worth remembering that consolidating debts into a mortgage does mean that you will take longer to pay them off

 Unlike a current account mortgage, you can still see your individual accounts

 Offset mortgages are particularly popular with self-employed people, contractors, or people on a bonus scheme

 The extra flexibility means that interest rates are generally higher than other mortgage types
