Offset Remortgages
In a climate of low interest rates, choosing an offset remortgage can make far better use of your savings than leaving them earning a poor rate of interest. By using the positive balances in a current or savings accounts to offset the interest rates charged on your mortgage, you pay less interest on your outstanding home loan. For higher-rate tax payers, this can be particularly tax-efficient, as it means paying no tax on interest from savings or current account balances, whilst reducing the interest payable on a mortgage.
Offset Remortgage Deals can help you pay off your mortgage sooner
Choosing an offset remortgage deal can help pay off your mortgage earlier, because any balance in your savings or current account go towards reducing the interest you pay. It is important to compare offset remortgage deals, because there are several different types of offset mortgage products on the market. For example, some people may be suited to the greater certainty offered by a fixed rate offset mortgage, whilst a variable rate offset remortgage might be suitable for others. Some lenders offer offset mortgages which are linked to current and savings accounts, whilst others offer simple current account mortgages (‘CAMs’) which combine both mortgage and current account into one pot.
