Compare Repayment Mortgages

Repayment mortgages

		Mortgage Type Fixed: The interest rate is fixed for a certain period – usually 1 to 5 years. Tracker: The interest rate rises and falls with the Bank of England base rate. Standard: The interest rate rises and falls with the provider’s standard interest rate (SVR). Discount: The interest rate rises and falls with the provider’s standard variable rate but is set at a lower discounted rate for certain period. Buy to Let: For landlords purchasing a property for letting.	Initial Rate The introductory rate of interest that you will pay for a certain period of time depending on the mortgage type and term.	Initial Term The length of time that the initial interest rate applies to the mortgage.	Final Rate The interest rate that your mortgage will revert to after any introductory rates have finished.	APR This is the mortgage’s Annual Percentage Rate: the interest rate that you will be charged on your mortgage including all charges such as arrangement fees (also referred to as Cost For Comparison).	Loan to value The percentage of a property’s value for which the mortgage can be used. Example: 75% loan to value = 25% deposit.	Fee to Apply This is the fee that must be paid to the lender when you take out the mortgage. It can be applied to the loan or paid separately.

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

Repayment mortgages explained

The most common kind of home loan, a repayment mortgage works by spreading out the payback of your debt over a set period of time, with interest added to each of your monthly instalments.

The alternatives are to only pay the interest that is accrued each month, rather than paying off any of the actual debt itself, or to put your money into an investment - often known as an endowment - in the hope that your money will work harder this way.

As such, a straight repayment mortgage is one of the safest options in borrowing to buy a house. If you stay on a repayment arrangement for the whole length of your term you will have paid off all of your debt and will own your home outright when you reach the end - provided you keep up with your payments of course. The trade-off is that if you want to pay the mortgage off early you'll need to make additional payments, rather than benefitting from any positive fluctuations on the stock market.

The other advantage is that by reducing your debt level each month you will be less likely to hit negative equity - a position where you owe more money than your house is worth. This can make it difficult to move homes.

Like any other mortgage, the variables involved with a repayment mortgage include the length of the loan, the amount you contribute upfront as a deposit (determining the loan-to-value or LTV ratio), and whether you pay a fixed, variable or tracker interest rate. Consider your options carefully.
