Offset Mortgages

Filed under: Mortgages — Dax++ @ 7:25 pm

Time to remortgage .. looking for another offset. Current mortgage is a good product but the rate is going to go through the roof (7%) once the discounted deal runs out so time to look at the options.

UK Offset Mortgage Products

Intelligent Finance - excellent product .. most flexiable one we’ve found so far .. including the ability to offset cash ISA accounts = excellent idea. But crazily their deals for existing customers is not v. competitive compared to their deals for new customers.

Woolwich - appears to be an excellent product at the best rate if you have a low LTV (Loan To Value percentage .. basically the ratio of how much you need to borrow compared to how much your property is worth). Includes cash ISA offsetting :-)

First Direct - Good rates (and low application fees) but crucially for me they don’t offer cash ISA offsetting. So close but no cigar.

Nat West - So so product .. not a brilliant rate and importantly can’t offset cash ISAs.
