Interest-only
With interest only mortgages only the interest is actually paid off with each
mortgage payment. But you do also need to have a 'repayment vehicle' in place
to satisfy the lender that you can pay off the capital.
Repayment
Mortgages
Here the monthly repayments consist of repaying the capital amount borrowed
as well as the accrued interest. Read about the advantages and disadvantages
of this type of mortgage.
Remortgages
Replace your existing mortgage with a new one. You can take out a mortgage
at a lower interest rate thus reducing your monthly mortgage or loan payments.
This is the most popular reason for remortgaging.
Buy-to-let Mortgages
As the housing market continues to inch ahead, so does the popularity of property
as an investment. But if you're buying to let, it pays to do your sums beforehand.
Flexible Mortgages
Flexible Mortgages are unlike the traditional UK mortgage model. A flexible
mortgage is adaptable to fit your circumstances. You can overpay, borrow back
overpayments, underpay, offset against current accounts and take payment breaks.
