What is an offset mortgage?

An offset mortgage is a financial product that combines your mortgage and savings account, allowing the money in the latter to work in your favour by offsetting the amount you owe on your mortgage.

Instead of earning interest on your savings accounts, that sum is used to reduce the mortgage balance on which interest is calculated. This means you could pay less interest on your mortgage, potentially shortening the repayment period.

Your savings remain accessible, offering a flexible solution that adapts to your financial circumstances. Offset mortgages represent a savvy approach for those looking to make their savings work harder, providing potential interest savings and financial flexibility.

Earn Through Your Savings

This allows your savings to earn an interest rate equivalent to your mortgage rate, often higher than standard savings account rates while remaining tax-efficient since you’re not directly earning interest on your savings.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Bower and their representative are so knowledgeable and very professional .

The representative, Tracy , was exceptional. The first time she visited me, she was so kind and approachable. She sat with me for a long time and explained everything until she felt that I understood. She talked about the advantages and disadvantages and gave me a chance to make informed choice. She was engaged all the time. Taking me through every stage, patiently and professionally. Nothing was not too much trouble for her. I phoned her umpteen times for clarification, and each time she returned my calls and explain what I wanted to know. Sometimes I would ask twice about the same thing and she was so patient with me because this was my first time in this adventure of Equity Release. She was proactive and pushed every stage to go through quickly. I am very satisfied with her service and I would not hesitate to recommend her as well as Bower. Thank you so much. I have already received the funds and started to put it to the long awaited use.

Bower is the company that gets great results.

I thonk that the sevice I had from Bower was A1, the company and the financial advisor went through hoops to help me in my moment of despair. They were in touch from the onset and could do enough for me, They came through for me and I can not thank then enough. The advisor even contacted me after everything went through to check that I was happy with everything, did I have anyquestions.

Excellent. Clarity of information on options

I dealt mainly with Lisa Hirst. She explained everything to me informing me of the different options. It should have been a simple process but there were problems with the Land Registry and a poor performance from MBNA and Lloyds Bank none of which was Bowers or Lisa’s fault. She supported me through the whole process and I had built up a good relationship with Lisa. I would recommend Bowers, and particularly Lisa to friends and family should they require this service in the future.

Excellent service

I cannot fault the service received. After an initial call made by Andy, a home visit was soon set up. Andy was very knowledgeable and explained the process of Equity Release very thoroughly. There was no pressure and shortly afterwards we received the report and decided to go ahead. We used Gilroy Steel solicitors as recommended who were equally helpful and Becky's visit was really productive. The whole process was easy and simple and we have now achieved our objective of releasing equity from our home.

Very professional and friendly company to deal with

Excellent. Eric was very easy to get on with and very knowledgeable. He answered all my questions, and looked for the best deal for me. He also reviewed the available deals when I changed my mind about different aspects of my Equity Release deal. He again checked for better deals when my house valuation came in higher than I had estimated. He found a reduced interest rate for me. He checked in regularly with me with updates, or to ask if I had any contact from the solicitors and home surveyor. Everything proceeded easily with no hiccups and was completed quickly. Thanks to Eric and Nicky, his PA, who also contacted me with updates. It's been a very pleasant and easy transaction, with no pressure. In fact Eric kept telling me I didn't have to proceed with the deal now if I wasn't sure. That I could come back to him at a later date when I had made my mind up to proceed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is an offset mortgage suited to?

An offset mortgage is particularly well-suited to individuals who are higher rate taxpayers and or have substantial savings, who seek to reduce mortgage interest payments while retaining immediate access to their savings or funds. It is an ideal choice for savers who might not be receiving significant returns on their savings due to low-interest rates, as it allows their savings to reduce their mortgage costs effectively without any tax deductions.

This type of mortgage is beneficial for higher-rate taxpayers, as it offers a tax-efficient way to use savings, avoiding tax on interest that would otherwise be paid. Moreover, those who desire flexibility in their financial planning, with the option to overpay or immediate access to savings if needed, will find offset mortgages appealing.

It’s a strategic financial tool for those looking to balance savings and mortgages to maximise their financial efficiency and flexibility. If you have a savings account, we can make an offset mortgage work.

How to get an offset mortgage?

Securing an offset mortgage involves a series of strategic steps, starting with a thorough assessment of your financial situation. Initially, consulting with a mortgage adviser or financial expert, such as one of our team at Bower Private Clients, who specialises in offset mortgages, is wise.

Our team can provide tailored advice based on your savings, income, and financial goals. The next step is to research the market for lenders offering offset mortgages, comparing terms, rates, and flexibility to find the best fit for your needs.

Once you have selected a lender with the help of our team, you must gather and submit the necessary documentation, including proof of income, identification, and savings details. The lender will then conduct a credit check and evaluate your application.

If approved, you’ll be guided through the final steps, including reviewing and signing the mortgage agreement. Throughout this process, it’s crucial to consider how an offset mortgage aligns with your long-term financial plans, ensuring it’s the right choice for your circumstances.

If you have any specific questions on how your personal savings allowance can benefit your mortgage repayments, why not speak to our team today? Offset mortgages work for many homeowners, so why not pair your mortgage with a linked savings account?

Can I reduce my monthly mortgage payments with an offset mortgage?

Leverage your offset mortgage to lower monthly repayments and enhance your cash flow. By offsetting your savings against your mortgage balance, you effectively reduce the amount on which interest is calculated, leading to lower monthly payments.

This innovative approach not only maximises the utility of your savings but also provides greater financial flexibility. This can help you to manage your finances more efficiently.

Whether you’re looking to free up monthly income for other investments or enjoy more disposable income, offsetting your mortgage could be the key to achieving your financial goals with adaptability and foresight.

Can I pay off my mortgage sooner with an offset mortgage?

Harness the power of your offset mortgage to expedite your journey to mortgage freedom. Offsetting your savings against your mortgage balance can reduce the principal amount on which interest is calculated. This enables you to channel more of your payments towards reducing the mortgage capital.

This strategic approach can significantly shorten the term of your mortgage, allowing you to pay it off sooner than anticipated. Embrace the opportunity to achieve financial independence earlier, as an offset mortgage offers an intelligent pathway to manage and outpace your mortgage commitments with financial acumen.

What are the common misconceptions of offset mortgages?

One prevalent misconception about offset mortgages is that they only benefit those with substantial savings. While it’s true that the more savings you offset against your mortgage, the greater the potential savings on interest, even those with modest savings can benefit from the flexibility and efficiency these products offer.

Another misunderstanding is that offset mortgages always have higher interest rates than standard mortgages. While rates may be slightly higher, the overall interest paid can be lower due to the offsetting effect of your savings. There is even the option for interest-only offset mortgage options, but you can speak to our team to learn more about this option.

Additionally, some believe that accessing savings becomes challenging with an offset mortgage. One of the critical advantages of this mortgage is the ability to access your savings whenever necessary, offering a blend of financial efficiency and liquidity that traditional mortgages do not provide.
