Private pensions can be complicated and they are hard to get excited about when it could be maybe forty years before you see the fruits of your investment – so invest your money into an offset mortgage and watch your nest egg make a difference right away.

We are all going to be living longer and we are all going to need to have saved more money to help us through our old age. Public pensions are a start, but it’s clear that we are going to have to work harder at saving more. But private pensions do nothing for us now – when we retire we reap the rewards, but now private pension investment might just feel like another outgoing.

So put your money somewhere where it will be felt, right now – if you save your money against your home loan you could reduce the rate and the term of your mortgage today, not in forty years. Not only does that mean you are saving long-term and helping reduce your debts as you approach old age, but you will also see monthly reductions in how much you have to pay today.

Also, money invested into a pension is locked-up. It’s good to know it’s there, but if you need money fast that good feeling will not pay the bills. Money saved against an offset loan is different – if you need it, it’s there for you. Taking money from your nest egg will affect the rate you pay on the loan, but crucially the lump sum is there if you absolutely need it, because none of us can predict the future.

So if you think your long-term plans could benefit from a mortgage that allows you to save for your old age and also makes things a little easier month by month, talk to a mortgage adviser. They will be able to show you the benefits of this innovative loan and can help you paint a picture of a brighter future.
