An offset mortgage is one where specially designated savings are offset against the amount of the mortgage outstanding to reduce the monthly interest payable.

The main reason for doing this is to help repay the mortgage more quickly as more of the repayments can go against capital rather than in interest.

However, they are also tax efficient, because it means rather than earning interest on savings which is taxable, the mortgage interest is reduced instead with no tax due on this reduction.
