Frequently Asked Questions

A mortgage is a loan secured against a property. It allows you to buy a home or investment property by borrowing money from a lender, which you then repay over an agreed term. The loan is secured on the property, meaning if repayments are not maintained, the lender has the right to repossess the property.

For most buyers, the minimum deposit is usually 5% of the purchase price. In some cases, there are products available with a lower deposit requirement, but these are generally only suitable for the right customers who meet specific lender criteria.

In general, the larger your deposit, the more mortgage options you are likely to have, and you may also benefit from lower interest rates.

There are several types of mortgages available, each suited to different needs and financial situations. A fixed-rate mortgage has an interest rate that stays the same for a set period, which means your monthly repayments remain stable and predictable. A variable-rate mortgage has an interest rate that can change over time, so your monthly payments may go up or down depending on market conditions.

A tracker mortgage follows the Bank of England base rate, plus a fixed percentage, meaning your payments will rise or fall whenever the base rate changes. A discount mortgage offers a reduced rate compared to the lender’s standard variable rate for a limited time, although your payments can still fluctuate.

An interest-only mortgage allows you to pay only the interest each month, which keeps payments lower, but you must repay the full loan amount at the end of the term. A repayment mortgage is the most common type, where your monthly payments cover both the interest and part of the loan, gradually reducing the balance until it is fully paid off.

An offset mortgage links your savings to your mortgage, reducing the amount of interest you are charged. Finally, a buy-to-let mortgage is designed for people who want to purchase a property to rent out, and it often comes with different terms and requirements compared to standard residential mortgages.

Yes, there are lenders who specialise in these circumstances. However, approval depends on your financial situation, credit history, and affordability checks. We’ll explain your options clearly and help you understand what’s realistic.

Missing payments can damage your credit rating and may result in your home being repossessed. It’s important to only borrow what you can afford. We’ll always explain the risks and ensure you understand the terms before proceeding.
