Current Account

The Deal

This is a relatively recent addition to the marketplace allowing you to keep all of your money in one place. This includes your savings, current account, credit cards, loans, and earnings. The idea behind this type of mortgage is that all your money reduces the outstanding balance on your mortgage and as the interest is calculated daily, your interest payments are correspondingly reduced.

The potential reduction in your level of borrowings means that over the entire term of your mortgage substantial savings can be made on your overall mortgage payments

Advantages:

• Keep track of all your money in the comfort of one account
• You may be able to pay the mortgage off early making your money work for you

Disadvantages:

• Interest rates are generally higher than a standard mortgage
• Fixed rates are not available for this product
