How Does an Offset Mortgage Work?
An offset mortgage lets you link a savings account to your mortgage to reduce the amount of interest you pay on the outstanding amount. Instead of earning interest on your savings, you offset interest on the mortgage balance minus the amount of savings you have.
Offset mortgages offer many challenges for a borrower, and it’s important you seek financial advice from a mortgage advisor before you go ahead. Friends Capital will review your personal circumstances and then search the entire market to ensure you get the best mortgage deal possible. We will then deal with all the paperwork, submit your mortgage application, liaise with your mortgage lender and solicitor, and ensure that your mortgage application is completed as quickly as possible.

Offset mortgages work by keeping your savings and your home loan in the same place. An offset mortgage is a mortgage that is linked to your savings account. Your savings balance can ‘reduce’ the mortgage amount, meaning you are charged interest on a smaller sum. The interest on your savings reduces the interest you pay on the loan, which means you can pay off your mortgage sooner.
Your savings are not used to pay off your mortgage. Instead, they sit in a separate savings account that pays no interest. But, the balance of your savings account is effectively added to your offset mortgage account. Lenders deduct this amount from your mortgage balance and only charge you interest on the remaining amount.
