Interest Only Mortgage Advice

What Is An Interest Only Mortgage?
An interest only mortgage is where the payable monthly payments will cover the interest that is accrued on the loan. This then creates a scenario where the mortgage amount remains static unless overpayments are being made in addition to the contractual interest only payment.
Lenders will want to know the repayment strategy to enable the mortgage to be repaid at the end of the term. Typical examples of this are the sale of the mortgaged property, or the sale of another tangible asset, funds derived from an investment (such as a pension), or designated overpayments.
Is An Interest Only Mortgage The Best Route For Me?
It very much depends on an individuals own needs & preferences, as well as determining if opting for an interest only mortgage is best advice.
On a residential arrangement interest only is less accessible compared to a buy to let setup, as typically the latter is designed more from an investment standpoint, and as such lenders are generally more comfortable with the use of an interest only mortgage.
Residential has a more detailed approach from lenders, as they will consider items such as the strength and sustainability of the repayment vehicle, the loan to value, income & expenditure, and minimum equity levels, just to name a few. In essence, they want to ensure the taken mortgage is created with responsible lending in practice.

Do Rates Differ On Interest Only Mortgages?
The short answer is no, as majority of lenders that offer this setup will have the same rates whether the mortgage is on a capital & interest or interest only arrangement.
However, what can dictate the competitiveness of the rate is accessibility. For example, if the lender that is offering the headline rate does not offer interest only, then you’d find the rate would be higher in comparison on the basis of the lender that can consider the case.
