Mortgage types available are:
- Fixed rate mortgages
- Tracker mortgages
- Offset mortgages
Fixed Rate Mortgages
A fixed rate mortgage means that your mortgage payments will not change for a fixed period. This means your payments will not increase during the fixed rate period, even if interest rates were to rise. It also means that payments would not reduce during the fixed rate period, if interest rates were to reduce.
Tracker Rate Mortgages
A tracker rate mortgage will track the base rate, which means that payments would reduce during the tracker period if the base rate were to reduce. If the base rate increases, then payments would rise. The base rate is set by the Bank of England, and reviewed regularly, so it can increase or decrease at any time.
Offset Mortgages
An offset mortgage can reduce your mortgage term, and reduce the amount of interest you pay. Here’s an example – if you have a mortgage balance of £200,000 and offset £40,000 in a basic savings account with same lender, you will only be charged interest on £160,000.
Repayment Methods Available
Capital and Interest Repayment
Monthly payments cover the interest and also reduce the capital, which means the mortgage balance is gradually reducing over the mortgage term, and as long as all the monthly payments met, the mortgage will be repaid by the end of the mortgage term.
Interest Only
This is where the monthly payments only cover the interest on the mortgage, which means that the original mortgage amount will still be owing at the end of the term. You would need to have a way of repaying the mortgage at the end of the mortgage term. Additional criteria would need to be met to qualify for an interest only mortgage.
YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.
Most Buy to Let mortgages are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
