What is an offset mortgage?
An offset mortgage is a way of linking your mortgage with your savings to reduce the amount of interest you pay.
Instead of earning interest, your savings offset some of the amount you have borrowed on your mortgage. This reduces the amount of interest you’re charged on your mortgage.
