An
Interest Only Mortgage is one whereby your monthly payments consist
solely of interest payment and not any capital repayment element.
Therefore the balance size of your mortgage will remain the same,
and will not be reduced at all by your monthly payments.
If
taking out an interest only mortgage, you must consider how
the mortgage will be repaid at the end of the term. Interest only
mortgages 'should' be supported by a suitable repayment vehicle,
so that the mortgage balance may be paid off in full at the end of
the term. It can be useful for people purchasing a new property to
pay interest only over an initial period, to keep their repayments
low whilst setting up home. It is then possible to switch on to a
repayment option when the time is right, so that you have the certainty
that your mortgage will be repaid in full at the end of the term.
It is important to note that should you fail to pay off your mortgage
(in full) at the end of the term, your home may be repossessed.
Another
popular use of an interest only mortgage is for Buy To Let or investment
properties i.e. any property that is bought with the intention of
selling it on for capital gain within the short to medium term.
To
help you find the right interest only mortgages deal to meet your
unique and specific needs, it is of great importance to obtain Independent
Advice from a fully qualified Independent Mortgage Adviser, who works
for you, not for a restrictive panel of lenders.
Interest
only mortgages are not suitable for all borrowers. Borrowers must
be aware that if / when switching from interest only to capital and
interest repayment, monthly payments will increase. There is also
an increased risk of a negative equity situation occuring. You must
also understand that there will be more interest payable than if
you started on a repayment only to begin with. It is important to
ask for detailed advice on interest only mortgages from a qualified
adviser.

The aim of this service is to introduce people like yourself to an independent mortgage adviser, who can either advise and recommend a specific mortgage deal for you (based on your needs / circumstances) or can offer detailed information on suitable products to help you select the most appropriate mortgage deal available to meet your needs.
The
key to our service is independence. The adviser that you will be introduced to will be fully independent, and as such will review the whole UK mortgage
market to give you the best advice and access to some exclusive deals.
You are under no obligation to proceed.
You
will be instantly notified by e-mail of any additional information
required, using an easy to complete mortgage questionnaire form.

confidential between you and your adviser.
We like people to remain in control, so the preferred methods of contact are both phone and e-mail. It can be arranged that an adviser can come to see you in person at your request, but find that most clients prefer to work remotely.
Once
the adviser has obtained the information they require to find you
the most appropriate deal, he / she will source from the entire UK
market using in-house regularly updated mortgage sourcing software.
He / she can e-mail or post recommended product illustrations for
you to look over (or may be available to provide a face-to-face advice
appointment with you).

believe the Best Advice is 'Independent' Advice!

home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
