How does it work?

Your monthly payments represent only the interest due to the lender, and do not include repayment of capital. Your total loan must be repaid at the end of the mortgage term. You therefore need to arrange additional investments which will generate sufficient capital to repay the loan.

ADVANTAGES:

1. You can choose from a variety of investments, some of which have tax advantages.
2. Should you move or arrange a remortgage, your investment can usually be reallocated to the new mortgage.

DISADVANTAGES:

1. Unlike a repayment mortgage, the amount of debt outstanding does not reduce over time
2. There is no guarantee that the investments chosen will grow sufficiently to repay your loan.

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

As Independent Mortgage advisers we always offer the option to pay for our services either via fees or commission. Where the commission option is chosen you will not be asked to pay any fee to us unless the best lender is one of the few who do not offer introducer fees to brokers. In such circumstances where the lack of broker commission results in your having to pay a fee - or where you choose to do so to help reduce your overall mortgage costs - we typically charge 0.35% of the loan amount. On a loan of £100,000 this would mean that you may be charged a fee of £350. A minimum fee of £250 will apply. Fees become due upon completion but will be chargeable, and thus invoicable, upon receipt of an offer. You will receive written confirmation of any such chargeable fee before proceeding.
