Save thousands of pounds and enjoy your money earlier

As you have worked hard for your savings – it’s about time your savings worked hard for you! By using your savings to offset against your mortgage, you could pay off your mortgage much earlier and save yourself thousands of pounds in interest. This way
you can enjoy your money earlier, doing things you’d normally have to wait years for!

Once your savings are offset, you’ll still have the flexibility to do what you want with them. You can add to them whenever you want to – reducing the years over which you’ll pay your mortgage. You can also take money out whenever you want – the choice is yours. However, the more you have in your savings, the quicker you’ll be mortgage-free!

Four reasons to Offset with Leeds Building Society

1. Value - Unlike savings interest which you usually pay tax on, the Offset Mortgage is a tax free arrangement - with potentially greater benefits if you are a higher rate
tax payer.

2. Convenience - You can access and use your savings at any point and if you top them up you’ll save even more in mortgage interest.

3. Choice - The choice is yours - pay your mortgage off earlier or reduce your mortgage payments. Either way you win!

4. Control - Your savings and mortgage are not rolled up into one account, but kept separate so you always know where you are.

It could save you thousands in interest!

You could make your savings work harder and save a fortune in interest. Here’s an example of how much our Offset Mortgage can save you and how early it could clear your mortgage.

What this means for you...

This example is based on a repayment mortgage of £75,000 over a term of 25 years with £5,000 of savings offset against your mortgage for the entire term.
The variable interest rate is 5.25%. The overall cost for comparison is 5.6%APR.
