what to do now?????????????

4 Posts
I have just acquired some money that could pay off my mortgage. I have an offest account but am not sure what to do now. I have 6 years left on mortgage with 65 k outstanding (i have no other debts). Should I put it in the offset savings or just pay off the whole thing. Any advice would be much appreciated.:)

I'm not sure how offsets work in detail
but for a standard capital repayment my brother amended his monthly payable to £80 a month for the remainding term and
overpaid the rest, therefore not having to repay an early charge
Offset 100% (check they don't close the mortgage)
Do something else with the rest.
You have 6 years left on the mortgage but is it fixed for 6 years or less?
Now check if you can reduce the term down to the end of your FIX? and use money in the offset to pay the extra each month!
This way you wont pay any interest to the mortgage company and in 6 years you will have built up £65K plus interest in savings
Not quite MF but able to build up savings over the next 6 years while fully offset
