Mortgage Services and Financing

Discount mortgages offer a variable interest rate set at a specific discount below the lender’s standard variable rate for a limited period. This means borrowers pay a reduced interest rate during the discount period, providing potential savings on mortgage payments.

Guarantor mortgages involve a third party (usually a family member) offering to guarantee the borrower’s mortgage repayments. This arrangement can help borrowers with limited deposits or lower credit scores secure a mortgage.

A standard variable rate (SVR) mortgage is the lender’s default rate, which can fluctuate in response to changes in the broader financial market. Borrowers on SVR mortgages may experience changes in their monthly payments.

With interest-only mortgages, borrowers only pay the interest on the loan each month, not the principal. At the end of the mortgage term, borrowers must repay the entire loan using other means, such as savings or investments.

These mortgages allow borrowers to secure a mortgage with a lower deposit amount (e.g., 5% or 0%), enabling more people to enter the property market.

Buy to let mortgages are loans for purchasing investment properties, allowing landlords to rent them out for income. Deposit and interest rates apply.

Cashback Mortgages in the UK offer borrowers a cash sum when they take out a mortgage. This cashback is usually a percentage of the loan amount and can help with initial expenses like moving costs or home improvements. However, interest rates on cashback mortgages may be slightly higher, so it’s important to consider the trade-off between upfront cash and long-term borrowing costs.

Fixed Rate Mortgages in the UK provide borrowers with a stable interest rate for a specified period, commonly 2 to 5 years, though longer terms are available. During this time, monthly payments remain constant, offering budgetary predictability. However, if market interest rates drop, you won’t benefit from lower rates. Conversely, if rates rise, you’re shielded from increased payments. After the fixed period, you’ll typically switch to the lender’s standard variable rate (SVR), potentially resulting in higher payments.

Remortgages for contractors in the UK are home loan refinancing options tailored to self-employed individuals or those on contract work. These mortgages allow you to switch your existing mortgage to a new deal with better terms, potentially lowering your monthly payments or securing a more favourable interest rate. 

First Time Buyers’ Mortgages for Contractors in the UK are specialized home loans designed for self-employed individuals or contractors who are purchasing their first property. Lenders offering these mortgages understand the unique financial circumstances of contractors, who often have irregular income due to the nature of their work.

Home Mover Mortgages aid existing homeowners in buying a new property by using the equity from their current one. Various terms and rates are available, with eligibility based on factors like income and credit.

Doctor’s Mortgages in the UK are tailored to medical professionals. They offer benefits like lower deposits, recognizing their income stability. Eligibility criteria and terms can vary. Consider options and expert advice when seeking a doctor’s mortgage.

Mortgages for Interim Managers in the UK cater to self-employed professionals who work on temporary or interim contracts. These mortgages consider your contract income and may require a minimum contract length. Interest rates and terms can vary among lenders, so comparing options is important. Seek expert advice to navigate the mortgage process as an interim manager and ensure you meet the lender’s criteria for approval.

Offset Mortgages in the UK are home loans that allow you to link your mortgage to your savings and sometimes your current account. The balance of these accounts is offset against your outstanding mortgage balance. This means you only pay interest on the difference between your savings and mortgage debt. It can help reduce your total interest and potentially shorten your mortgage term. 

Offset mortgages link borrowers’ savings and/or current accounts to their mortgage balance. The amount in the linked account reduces the mortgage interest charged, potentially allowing borrowers to pay off their mortgage faster.
