| Repayment Mortgages |
|
A mortgage is made up of two ingredients: the capital which is the amount of money you borrow from your lender to buy your home, and the interest the lender charges on the capital until you pay it back. Your lender has many different types of mortgage available, using various methods of repaying the capital and the interest. Also known as a capital and interest mortgage, the repayment mortgage is probably the most straightforward. Each month you make a payment, comprising a portion of both the capital and the interest on your loan. At the end of the mortgage term, both the debt and the interest have been paid off.A repayment mortgage is very flexible, which is important in an ever-changing environment. For instance you can alter the length of the mortgage term or the size of your monthly payments very easily as long as your lender agrees. So, if mortgage interest rates fall, you can keep your payments the same but shorten the length of your mortgage term. And if interest rates go up, it is in some cases possible to pay the same amount each month, but compensate for the added cost by extending the length of your mortgage. Repayment mortgages are straightforward, flexible, and can be the right type of mortgage for just about everyone. And last, but not least, it is guaranteed that you do pay off your mortgage at the end of its term, provided you keep up your repayments.
