Taking on a mortgage is likely to be one of the biggest financial commitments you make in your life. Our mortgage specialists will help you understand each and every aspect of taking on a mortgage. We work with you every step of the way to understand your needs and objectives and subsequently provide personally tailored advice based on a comprehensive range of mortgages from a wide range of lenders.
Types of mortgages – Repayment and Interest-only mortgages
Repayment mortgages are the standard type of mortgage for a residential property. These allow the borrow to make monthly payments which cover the capital and the interest over the mortgage term.
Interest-only mortgages are more common for buy-to-let properties. These allow the borrower to simply pay back the interest during the term of the mortgage and pay off the capital at the end.
Both of these mortgages can be offered as a fixed rate or variable-rate (when the mortgage tracks the base rate set by the Bank of England). Fixed-rates mortgages usually have a term for which the interest rate is fixed, after which it converts to a variable rate. Variable-rate mortgages are either standard rate (your lender’s usual offer) or discounted-rate (a special deal for the early part of the mortgage to help buyers manage better after the expenses of the move).
There are also specialist mortgages for different types of property purchases such as self-build mortgages and mortgages for unusual properties such as timber framed homes.
Such a range of choices can make the decision-making process very confusing. The good news is that quality financial advice provided by our mortgage experts can help to guide you towards making the right choice for you.
