No way you could be saving £826py over a regular mortgage.
All the offset does is lower your borrowing, but you are down £900 to start with.
£25k @ 3.45% is £862py but you could get interest even at 1% net that's £250 off that £862, if it was just a smaller mortgage it would be less.
We have an offset but don't get one based on false information.
Hi. Sorry what I meant (I think?!) was we would be saving 826 per year on mortgage interest. Not over and above a regular mortgage.
This is what I was originally trying to work out whether it was worth paying the £999 fee and seems like it is. Then as we add more into the offset account it becomes an even clearer winner.
