With an offset mortgage from Pera Mortgages, you can reduce the amount of interest you pay by linking your mortgage with your savings and current accounts. Instead of earning interest on your savings, the balance is offset against your mortgage, meaning you only pay interest on the difference. Over time, this can lead to significant savings and potentially shorten your mortgage term too.
Offset mortgages are particularly well-suited to those who have built up savings and want to keep their money accessible while still putting it to work. You won’t lose access to your funds; your accounts function just as they normally would. But behind the scenes, every pound in your linked accounts is quietly lowering the interest you pay, offering an efficient and low-effort way to manage your mortgage and your day-to-day finances.
Whether you’re self-employed with fluctuating income, planning for the future, or simply want to reduce what you owe more quickly, offset mortgages can offer a flexible route forward. At Pera Mortgages, we take the time to understand your unique situation. Our advisers will explain how offsetting could help you reduce your monthly repayments, cut down your overall interest, or even pay off your loan faster all without locking away your savings.
An offset mortgage isn’t just a short-term strategy — it can play a meaningful role in your long-term financial planning. By consistently maintaining savings in your linked accounts, you could save thousands in interest over the life of your loan. What’s more, in times of financial uncertainty or rising interest rates, having this kind of structure in place gives you greater control and stability. It’s a smart choice for those who value flexibility today and financial confidence tomorrow.
- By reducing the interest you pay, an offset mortgage can help you either repay your loan faster or lower your monthly instalments.
- Your savings remain accessible, so you can still withdraw funds whenever you need them.
- For higher or additional-rate taxpayers, offset mortgages may provide tax advantages.
- Many offset products also allow overpayments, giving you the option to pay down your balance sooner, though early repayment charges might apply.
- Interest rates on offset mortgages are often higher compared with some standard repayment deals.
- Cash in linked accounts usually won’t earn interest while it’s offset against your mortgage.
- Offset mortgages are not available from every lender, which can limit your options.
- Depending on the offers on the market, directly using your savings to reduce your mortgage balance might, in some cases, be more cost-effective.
