While
there are many different mortgage options, there are just two types
of mortgage, interest only and repayment (capital and interest).
With a interest only mortgage you pay the interest only to the lender
and take out a further investment alongside which you hope will pay
off the loan at the end of the term. Mortgage lenders are fairly flexible
about what investment method is used to pay off the loan and popular
choices have been endowment policies, unit trusts and pensions.
With a repayment mortgage each payment made pays both the interest
and a small part of the capital. With this type of mortgage your mortgage
loan will be paid off at the end of the term.
With a repayment mortgage
you are using your capital to actively reduce your debt at whatever
the prevailing building society interest rate is. With a interest
only mortgage you hope that your invested capital will achieve a better
rate of return than the building society interest rate.
