Default Offset Mortgages

I used to have a mortgage through the Woolwich, which was an offset style mortgage. Any penny in my current account or any of my "savings pots" was offset against my mortgage principal meaning I paid less in mortgage interest.

Is there an equivalent mortgage in Canada?

Can anyone recommend something similar and detail their experiences with the institution?

Thanks!

I've heard about that, but I also hear that their interest rates are relatively high undoing the benefit of the offset.

Red flag deals has a forum on it where personal finance is covered. It may be helpful to search around there.

HTH

(PS It helps to start at page one of the thread!)

Talk to a Mortgage Broker. National Bank of Canada offers one called the "All in One".

I have got a number of deals though them - the freebie section is quite good. Good advice can be found there on all sorts of things.
