Repayment

How does it work?

You borrow a lump sum over a fixed period of time (usually 25 years but can be shorter or longer). You pay the interest and some of the capital on a monthly basis to the lender.

ADVANTAGES:

1. Some flexibility with repayments.
2. The only way you can be 100% certain the loan will be repaid, providing repayments are maintained.

DISADVANTAGES:

1. Monthly mortgage payments may be higher than interest only mortgages covered by an investment/life assurance product to repay the capital.
2. Only a small amount of capital is paid off in the early years as the monthly mortgage payment consists of a higher proportion of interest to capital repayment.

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

For mortgage business you can choose how we are paid. We can either accept commission from the lender or you can choose to pay on a fee basis. Should you choose to pay a fee we will usually charge 1.5% of the loan amount subject to a minimum of £5000. We can also arrange a combination of these options.
