Yeah I know they would lose interest so would sort them out with some extra cash....it was the principle I wanted to check out first off. | |

Don't forget - they are probably earning 5-6% on it. They would lose that if it was sitting in your account but yeah, it would be a cheap mortgage for you. | |

You'll have to careful borrowing/acquiring that sort of money as well; wether deemd to be a private loan or not you could end up getting stung for Capital Gains - I think the limit of a personal gift/loan is £3000 per 12 months. I may have the figures wrong, but at £80k there must be Capital Taxes to pay/avoid. | |

I dont get why you are going down IHT route :boggle: quote: Yes however there are different types of offset mortgages on the market some offset from seperate savings accounts others you have to pay the savings into the mortgage account. But the principle is the same. Just remember you need to keep on plan to pay off the capital as you will at some point want to take the savings out and then interest will become payable again I work with offset mortgages so any questions give me a shout :) | |

Yeah but it kicks in in advance if you transfer money regardless of real limit | |

They wouldn’t be able to give the money permanently as it would effectively be a loan…..they buy houses to do up and sell but they take about a year between selling a house and buying a new one so I wouldn’t be able to borrow it continuously but could save me loads of interest while they are buying a new house. | |

You would probably pay a notional amoutn fo interest but Im afraid your wifes parents cant just give you £80k... they'd get hit IHT... now, they could effectively take the mortgage out in their name and therefore do it that way | |

i thought it clears your current account every month. wouldnt your missus parents give you the 80k to pay your mortgage off and you could pay them off at like 330 quid over 20 years or 660 over 1 years? | |

This might be the most ridiculous question but sounds logical to me.... |
