    As someone else has already mentioned you might be better just clearing the mortgage if you have the money in savings and may in the future end up claiming  benefits !
    Owning your own home does not count but having £50,000+ in the bank will even if its used to offset the mortgage. 
    PS I love offset mortgages having had 3 over the last 18 years.
    If you need help at home the council will do an assessment  of your needs and finances 
    Setting up a new offset mortgage will have costs even with Free legals and Free survey
