Two Basic Types of UK Mortgage
by:
Mark Lambie
In the United Kingdom there are two main mortgages that
people choose between when purchasing their home. Other options are
available but for the large majority of people, it is one of either the
fixed-rate mortgage or the adjustable-rate mortgage which is best suited
to their requirements.
The fixed-rate mortgage is the most simple of mortgages
and the one which most people see as the traditional way to purchase your
home. This involves the mortgage provider lending you the money you need
to buy your home and, using their interest rate, calculating how much
interest the loan will accrue over the period for which the mortgage has
been borrowed. This is usually either 15 or 30 years. The sum of the
interest is added on to the amount being borrowed and the monthly
repayments are simply the result of this total divided by the number of
months over which the mortgage will be repaid. This ensures that the
monthly amount stays the same for the life of the mortgage.
The adjustable-rate mortgage is slightly different. The
interest to be paid on the amount of the loan that you borrow changes
dependent on interest rate changes in the country. The first year of the
mortgage is usually offered with a teaser rate of interest. This is
generally slightly lower than the market interest rate. After this point
the interest reverts to the standard level for that time. However, you do
have a cap at which point the interest will not get any higher. This is
usually five points higher than your teaser interest rate so if your
teaser was 4% your cap would be 9%. The important thing to consider if you
are thinking about opting for the adjustable-rate mortgage is that you may
have to pay the capped level of interest for the life of the loan. That is
the worst case scenario but it is certainly worth calculating whether you
could afford this level of monthly repayment just in case you may have to
in the future.
