    Have you tried reading the thread "Offset Mortgages - The Numbers".  In there someone has kindly posted a formula for you to figure out if you would be better off off-setting, etc.

  • Hi, I see from previous thread info about another thread re. offset mortgages.... entitled "Offset Mortgages - The Numbers" but I am unable to find this thread .... any ideas where it might be lurking?
  • If you look at the top of the page- of the mortgage thread- it`s there at the top as a sticky- it has a drawing pin on It.

    I was looking for the same info as you.
