Knowing how mortgage repayments work is essential for managing your finances effectively as a homeowner. Our experienced financial advisers will work with you to understand your specific mortgage terms, explain how different factors affect your repayments, and help you develop a personalised budgeting strategy.

Once your mortgage application has been accepted in principal, you may have the option of deciding how you repay the loan: on a ‘repayment’ basis, or on an ‘interest only’ basis.

Repayment mortgage

With a repayment mortgage, your monthly repayments cover both capital and interest on the loan.

As the term continues, the amount outstanding on the loan reduces so the full amount of the loan will have been repaid at the end of the term as long as you have made all your payments on time.

No other repayment vehicle is needed and it avoids the risk of investing (e.g. in the stock market).

If you remortgage, you may be tempted to extend the end repayment date in order to lower your monthly payments. However, this means that the amount you repay overall increases over time.

Interest only mortgages

With an interest-only mortgage, your payments to the lender cover only the interest on the loan (i.e. they do not repay any of the capital). The total amount of your debt does not reduce over time and the full amount of the loan still has to be repaid to the lender at the end of the term, so you will need to ensure you have that money ready.

So you can make this final payment, you can invest so that you generate enough capital to repay the loan at the end of the term. If you choose to invest, some investment vehicles can have tax advantages and when you move or remortgage, your investment vehicle can usually be reallocated to the new mortgage.

However, there is no guarantee that your chosen investment vehicle will grow sufficiently to repay your loan (although you can usually top up your contributions to investments as you go along if this looks likely to be the case).

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.

A LIFETIME MORTGAGE IS A LOAN SECURED AGAINST YOUR HOME. TO UNDERSTAND THE FEATURES AND RISKS, ASK FOR A PERSONALISED ILLUSTRATION. EQUITY RELEASE WILL REDUCE THE VALUE OF YOUR ESTATE AND MAY AFFECT YOUR ENTITLEMENT TO MEANS TESTED BENEFITS.

What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?
We initially contacted Jenny to find out about mortgage options for us.

How has Jenny Whittle helped you?
Jenny has gone above and beyond to support us in our first house purchase together. From navigating mortgage options that suit us and not pushing us into just any deal to thoroughly explaining all the different options when it comes to insurance and protection. She has also been incredibly helpful when our initial sale fell through. She kept us in the loop, every step of the way and responded to our queries and questions with lightening speed and has always been available when we needed her. She has given us exceptional service throughout.

Have you seen the outcome you were hoping for?
Yes.

What could they have done better?
Nothing. Honestly, everything has been perfect.

Thank you Victoria and Graham for the lovely review. Fingers crossed for a smooth house move!
