Offset Mortgages

What is an Offset Mortgage?

This is a mortgage that is completely flexible and allows the borrower to reduce interest charged on their outstanding mortgage balance, by offsetting it against any credit balance they have in their savings or current account.

An offset mortgage is a very simple concept in reality. It works on the basis that for the calculation and charging of interest, any savings you hold with that bank, you will not be charged interest on the equivalent amount on your mortgage.

This is an example to illustrate how an offset mortgage works:

Imagine you have an offset mortgage of a £100,000, and you had an offset savings account linked to the mortgage with £30,000 saved in it. For the purpose of calculating interest the £30,000 savings is offset against the £100,000 mortgage, so in effect you will only be charged interest on £70,000 of your mortgage borrowing.

In most cases, you have instant access to your savings, so this is extremely flexible in terms of having access to your money as and when needed.

The savings made from the offset savings can be used to either reduce the mortgage term for you, or reduce your monthly mortgage payments.

Why use a Broker for Offset Mortgages?

These mortgages not suitable for everyone, but they can be exceptionally good for people who hold a lot of cash savings for any period of time, or self-employed people who save regularly for tax purposes etc.

This was from a client we have been working with for over 7 years now: "Many thanks for all your hard work and effort to obtain our mortgage offer! I can't tell you how it feels for us to have gone from having nearly 100k of debt and a 'hopeless case' to getting a high street mortgage (in less than 7 years!)

Justin was recommend by my bother who had his mortgage arranged with him a couple of years before. The set up process was very easy, Justin got me on the phone, found out my needs and financial details and then came back a couple of days later with three options for me to pick from. After than things went smoothly, Justin and his team were VERY helpful, they even helped fix a couple of problems caused by my solicitors. On the day of completion Justin was on the phone making sure everything was fine as were his team. I felt very well looked after and even decided to arrange extra life cover with Justin.

I would like to thank Justin from J F Financial for his extremely professional service. After my recent stage one interview which was to understand all aspects of my financial position he was able to tell me more about my finances than I knew myself. Justin gave me clear, decisive advice which enabled me to put things in place to secure future financial stability. I initially went to Justin to see if he was able to help secure an acceptable rate on the re-mortgage of my property as it had come to the end of its term and slipped into variable rate. This was something that I did not think was possible in today’s current financial market. Justin not only matched my existing interest rate but secured this rate for the next 5 years. From Stage one to completion of the mortgage I found this to be a very smoothly run and professional service and would not hesitate with recommending Justin from J F Financial to any of my family or contacts in the future.
