Interest-Only

Typically the lowest form of monthly repayment, interest-only mortgages will give you the lowest monthly repayment to the lender. This comes with the downside of not building extra capital within the property over the mortgage term. These mortgages are most commonly seen in combination with buy-to-let mortgages to allow you to keep your cash-flow high whilst still holding onto a property. Interest-only also has both options available of being fixed or variable rate mortgages.

​

Interest only also has benefits where in times of financial hardship some lenders may allow the changing of property from a capital repayment to an interest-only mortgage, decreasing your monthly payments. 

​

When your interest-only term ends you will either need to remortgage for a capital repayment/interest-only mortgage, or sell the house to fund the repayment of the mortgage.
