A leading broker has advised people to choose an offset mortgage rather than dipping into their savings to pay for their home loan.
An expert from the broker said that this would allow customers to pay off their home loan quicker and would also offer them greater flexibility.
He went on to say that by choosing an offset mortgage, customers would then not only be able to pay off their home loan quicker but also have the back up of their savings should they ever need to use them.
This would also mean that you would have the flexibility of not needing to go through the lengthy process of taking out more money in the future should you ever need it.
The benefit of offset mortgages is that they deduct the balance of people’s savings from what they owe on their mortgage. This means that interest is only paid on the difference. In most cases, you will still continue to pay the same amount on your mortgage each month but you will be paying a lot less out on interest and therefore be able to pay off your mortgage a lot quicker.
If you prefer to see the money you’re saving a lot quicker, then some providers will let you use the benefit of the offset in order to reduce the amount of your monthly mortgage payments instead of reducing the level of interest.
By opting for an offset mortgage, you are obviously sacrificing the interest that you would build up on your savings, however, the benefits that there are to gain from offset mortgages are tax free so they tend to be very good value.
Another broker recently informed people that they would need to have savings of at least five or ten per cent of their mortgage in order to be considered for an offset mortgage.
Choosing an offset mortgage can mean that you will be able to pay off your home loan quicker and still have your savings.
