Mortgages are repaid in many different ways, but the most popular are the following.
Annuity
This is the traditional mortgage where each monthly payment is split between
paying interest on the outstanding loan with the remainder being set against
the capital balance.
Interest Only
Interest only mortgages are those where your
monthly repayments to the lender consist of the interest only
(hence the name) and no contribution is made to reduce the amount
borrowed.Where 'interest only' loans come into their own is
with "buy-to-lets" or rental properties. By using this method
of mortgage, one can keep repayments low in the initial years
of the mortgage where usually the most problems will arise.
Pension
Pension mortgage is a tax efficient way of
buying a property that suits the self employed and proprietary
directors. It involves building up a fund through a pension
plan and using that to pay off your mortgage.
