UK Mortgages: One account Mortgage Information

ONE ACCOUNT MORTGAGES

A current account mortgage allows you to operate your mortgage borrowing through a current account. This method enables you to save interest as your normal cash flow will alter the outstanding debt.

A few years ago the standard mortgage contract was full of small print and penalty clauses should you wish to move your mortgage or repay it early. Today, the market has moved on and mortgages are now increasingly flexible and contain fewer restrictive terms. You may be required to pay your salary into the account. An offset mortgage allows you to keep your balances e.g. mortgage, savings, current account etc in separate accounts but all balances are offset against each other thus allowing the possibility of reducing the interest paid and could result in the mortgage being repaid early.

The market has moved on and mortgage Lenders are now increasingly flexible and contain fewer restrictive terms. This new generation of mortgages are called - 'One account or offset' mortgages. Providers are The Woolwich, Inteligent Finance and Standard Life to name a few.

You never know how you circumstances may chance and with a offset mortgage you are giving yourself more options. Here is a list of top flexible mortgages.

One account mortgages (also known as Current Account Mortgages) are very much in fashion. This type of mortgage can be of real benefit if you have or are likely to have savings. Any savings you have are deducted from the outstanding balance and you only pay interest on the difference. For example, if you have a mortgage of 200,000 but a current account balance of 30,000 you will only pay interest on 170,000. Over the lifetime of the mortgage this can save you thousands of pounds, even when you take into account any interest you would get on your savings.
