What are Interest Only Mortgages?
Repayment Mortgages vs Interest Only Mortgages
Why Choose an Interest Only Mortgage?
An interest only mortgage allows you to pay just the interest on your mortgage per month, for the term of your mortgage. You don’t have to repay the amount you’ve borrowed until the end of the mortgage term.
Interest only mortgages are complex, and are challenging to secure. Our mortgage advisers are experts in interest only mortgages, and can offer sound and unbiased advice on how to get the best mortgage deal possible. We will also give advise on other property investments you may wish to conduct with your additional cash.
We will review your personal circumstances and then search the entire market to ensure you get the best mortgage deal possible. We will then deal with all the paperwork, submit your mortgage application, liaise with your mortgage lender and solicitor, and ensure that your mortgage application is completed as quickly as possible.

Give you a dedicated account manager who is available to you through the process.
With an interest only mortgage, you only cover the interest element of your mortgage and don`t reduce the capital you borrowed initially. This means your payments will be less than a normal mortgage, but at the end of the term you’ll still owe the original amount you borrowed from the lender. You must provide your lender with substantial proof that you are able to repay the mortgage outstanding at the end of the mortgage term.
Interest only mortgages differ from typical repayment mortgages. With Repayment mortgages, you gradually repay the money you’ve borrowed on the full mortgage amount throughout the agreed mortgage term. With repayment mortgages you make one payment a month to your lender, part of which goes towards repayment of the actual loan, and the rest covers the interest. This means your monthly payments are higher than that of an interest-only.
With interest only mortgages, you’re only paying the mortgage interest per month, so your payments can be far lower than a repayment mortgage. However, this means you will need to make other arrangements for paying back the full capital at the end of the mortgage term. You can either mean paying a separate monthly sum into another investment, or using another asset / investment that already has a value that would cover the loan.
You will need proof of a legitimate repayment plan to pay off your mortgage at the end of the mortgage term. Acceptable repayment plans vary by lender, and may include:
Lower monthly payments – You are only paying back the interest on your loan per month for the term of the mortgage.
Control Over Investment – You have the ability to decide how you repay the capital of your mortgage after the period is up.
Potential to Profit – You can use the additional cash saved to put towards home improvements, property developments or gain more equity in the property.
