Types of Home Loans Available

There are two main types of mortgages available. A repayment plan is where you pay part of the loan off each month and at the end of the lending period there is no outstanding balance. An interest only product is where you only pay interest due and the loan is never paid. These are being phased out

Your Options Available - a Quick Guide

There are many deals and offers for new or remortgages to refinance an existing debt and these generally fall under the following categories:

  • Variable rate - where the interest rate rises and falls generally in line with the Bank of England base rate
  • Fixed rate - where the interest rate is fixed for a certain period of time and then goes back to a variable rate
  • Offset mortgages - these can be on a fixed or variable interest rate but the loan is offset against your other accounts such as a current or savings account - these types of mortgages can knock several years off the length of the loan but check the interest rate is competitive.

You may be on an SVR which are also increasing so it may be time to check out the current remortgaging options to reduce your monthly repayments.
