An introduction
to homebuyer mortgages
There are several different factors to consider when approaching your residential mortgage, such as repayment and interest-only options, as well as whether you will choose a fixed or variable rate.
What type of residential mortgage is right for me?
Whether you’re purchasing or remortgaging your home, you need to understand the different types of mortgages available to you. With a repayment mortgage, your monthly repayments cover both the loan and the interest the lender is charging, meaning (assuming you meet all the monthly repayments) your loan is fully paid off by the end of its term.
On the other hand, with an interest-only mortgage, you have lower monthly costs as you’re only paying off the lender’s interest. However, this means when you reach the end of your mortgage, you then need to repay the capital amount in full. As such, repayment mortgages are much more popular with homeowners.
Fixed vs Variable Rate mortgages
A fixed-rate mortgage charges interest at a set price over a fixed period of time, usually 2 or 5 years. This gives you the financial security of knowing your monthly repayments will stay the same over this initial rate period, regardless of what happens to Base Rate or the lenders mortgage rate pricing. However, this does mean that you could miss out on cheaper rates if they become available.
Variable or Tracker mortgages will typically track the Bank of England Base Rate, meaning your repayments can change on a monthly basis. When the Base Rate is low, these can be an attractive option, however market volatility may see significant increases to your repayments with very little notice.
