An offset mortgage is a unique and powerful financial tool that allows you to reduce the interest you pay on your mortgage by linking it to your savings and current accounts. By offsetting the balance in these accounts against the amount you owe on your mortgage, you can significantly lower the interest costs over the life of the loan, potentially saving you thousands of pounds.
​
We offer expert advice and access to a wide range of offset mortgage options, ensuring that you can make the most of this flexible mortgage solution. Whether you're looking to save on interest, pay off your mortgage faster, or simply enjoy more financial flexibility, an offset mortgage could be the right choice for you.

How Artillium Can Help You Secure the Best Offset Mortgage:
​
-
Maximize Your Savings: The key benefit of an offset mortgage is that it links your mortgage to your savings accounts. The balance in your savings account(s) is used to reduce the balance of your mortgage for interest calculation purposes. This means you pay interest only on the difference between your mortgage balance and your savings, helping you save on interest payments over time.
-
Flexibility and Control: One of the biggest advantages of an offset mortgage is the flexibility it offers. You can still access your savings when you need them, providing a safety net or opportunity for other investments, while still benefiting from the reduced mortgage interest. This flexibility allows you to control how and when you use your savings, whether you choose to reduce your mortgage balance or use the funds for other purposes.
-
Tax Efficiency: Since interest on an offset mortgage is only calculated on the balance after your savings have been deducted, offsetting can be a more tax-efficient way to manage your money. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with high savings balances or those looking for an alternative to traditional savings accounts, which may be subject to tax on interest earned.
-
Speedy Mortgage Repayment: By offsetting your savings, you can reduce your mortgage interest, enabling you to pay off your loan faster. This could shorten your mortgage term without the need to make higher monthly payments, giving you the ability to become mortgage-free sooner.

What You Need to Know About Offset Mortgages:
​
-
How It Works: The balance in your savings accounts (and sometimes your current accounts) is "offset" against your mortgage balance. For example, if you have a £200,000 mortgage and £50,000 in savings, you’ll only pay interest on £150,000. This can significantly reduce the total interest you pay, making it a great option for those with a substantial savings balance.
-
Eligibility Criteria: While offset mortgages are a great option for many, they are not always available to everyone. Lenders typically look for a strong credit score, a healthy balance of savings, and a stable income. Our team at Artillium Finance Partners can help you assess whether an offset mortgage is the right fit for you and guide you through the eligibility requirements.
-
Savings and Accounts Required: To make the most of an offset mortgage, you’ll need to have a savings balance that can effectively reduce your mortgage balance. The more savings you have, the greater the interest savings you’ll experience. However, the savings are still accessible for you to withdraw as needed.
-
Interest Rate Considerations: Offset mortgages often come with slightly higher interest rates compared to traditional mortgages. However, the potential savings from offsetting your savings can outweigh the cost of the slightly higher rate, especially if you have significant savings.
