Types of Mortgage: At a Glance

Types of Mortgage: At a Glance

Repayment Mortgage: The most common type. Your monthly payments go toward both the interest and the property itself. By the end of the term, you’ll own your home outright.

Interest-Only Mortgage: Less common, usually for investment properties. You pay just the interest each month, but you’ll still owe the full loan amount at the end.

Fixed Rate Mortgage: Your payments stay the same for a set term - usually two, three or five years - giving you stability and peace of mind.

Variable or Tracker Mortgage: Your payments can change based on interest rates. These often start cheaper, but can rise unexpectedly.

Discount Rate or SVR Deals: These follow a lender’s own standard variable rate, sometimes with a discount at the start.

How Much Can I Borrow?

How Much Can I Borrow?

Lenders typically offer up to 4.5 times your annual income - but affordability is based on more than salary alone. They’ll review your spending habits, credit profile and future costs too. We can help you understand what’s realistic, and what might affect your application - from subscription spending to previous credit history.

What You’ll Need for Your Appointment

  • To make your appointment as productive as possible, please bring:
  • Proof of ID and address (passport, driving licence, utility bill)
  • Bank statements from the last three months
  • Payslips or accounts if self-employed
  • Details of your deposit or savings
  • Any existing credit commitments

This information helps us get you an accurate picture of what’s available and what’s affordable.

Deposit and Costs

Deposit and Costs

  • A deposit of 5 - 10% is typically the minimum
  • For the best rates, aim for 20 - 40% where possible
  • Set-up fees, valuation costs and legal fees may apply - we’ll help you budget properly
