Mortgages and Off-Setting with Savings
#2
I've got a VirginOne account which is now owned 100% by Royal Bank of Scotland. Its the same sort of thing but seems to be the most flexible. I've saved a fortune with it in interest and will pay my mortgage off years early.
I'd 100% recommend it.

woolwich offer 'openplan offset'
BOE BTR + .75%
There are others but woolwich and virgin one are the most competitive. IMHO Woolwich are by far the best as they will underwrite a cash reserve up to 4* salary or 90% LTV so you never need a personal loan again.
BTW - Unless you plan to have 15% of your mortgage amount in current/savings account, you would be better to go for a straight discount deal

Our BoS 'Personal Choice' allows us to make over-payments whenever we like, and draw down cash whenever we want too, so although we manage it ourselves, effectively it gives us the offsetting capability. 4.75% tracker, too - which is nice.

Yorkshire Bank Flexible Current Account Mortgage for us.
Salary must be paid in, runs like a big fat overdraft charged at mortgage interest rates +abit.
If were careful with our spending we should clear £50k in 4yrs, with a joint income of around £35k. Interest saved is enormous, shudder when I think what we could've been paying.
Best bit is, you can spend the difference between what you would've paid on a 25yr plan, and what you've actually paid.
My idea is to clear the 1st £18k, and then right a cheque for a new Scooby (when the Euro recovers???).
