Which type of mortgage should I choose?
Today there is more choice than ever when it comes to choosing a
mortgage. Fixed rate, variable rate, capped rate the list goes on and
on, but which one is right for you?
A mortgage is probably the largest financial commitment most of us
will make in our lifetime and it is vital that we take professional advice
before committing to any one mortgage deal.
A mortgage is in reality a loan from a financial body or institution to
you in order that you may secure the purchase of a property. This loan
is generally secured against the property and is repaid over a period of
time, usually twenty five years.
But how do we decide which type of mortgage to go for? The good
news is that along with the extensive choice of mortgages available
there is a huge choice of companies wanting to lend you money.
There are very strict rules that all financial companies must adhere to
when they offer us a mortgage which is designed to ensure you receive
the best of advice. Do not accept the first deal you are offered, shop
around and be sure the deal on offer meets your work and lifestyle
commitments.
Choosing the wrong mortgage can be a costly mistake and is definitely
an experience you can do without. There are banks, building societies,
loan companies and independent mortgage brokers all ready to help
you, take their advice, but do not rush into a decision.
YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP
REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.
