What should I think about when
choosing a mortgage?
To assist you to narrow down the search for your new mortgage, you should
first decide which payment method best suits you. Whether
it is to be a repayment, interest only or perhaps a
flexible mortgage. To help you decide on the method most
suitable for you, it would be sensible to take into
account your attitude to risk . Only a repayment mortgage
can guarantee, assuming all mortgage payments are
maintained properly, that your mortgage debt will be
repaid at the end of the original mortgage term.
Always shop around for the best rates, but be sure you are
comparing like with like. To do this check the APR of the
loan. You also need to bear in mind that the interest
payments in respect of fixed rate mortgages can rise
steeply once the initial 'fixed' period ends. Therefore
your planning should always include the possibility of
sharp changes to future interest payments.
If you are intending to sell your home in the near future,
check whether there are any redemption penalties attached
to the mortgage or if your mortgage deal will allow you to
take the mortgage on to the next property.
Check what arrangement fees the lender charges and whether
these are refundable should you decide not to proceed
midway through the application process.
Check for additional costs such as mortgage indemnity
premiums and buildings and contents insurance.
Consider using a mortgage broker and taking independent
financial advice, this can save you a lot of time checking
the differences between the various lenders; it can also
help clarify which mortgage package best suits your
circumstances.
