The mortgage term
You can repay your mortgage over a term that suits you - from 1 to 35 years. When considering how long you want your mortgage to run, as well as thinking about how you are planning to repay your mortgage, you should bear in mind how your income may change in the future too. We will only consider lending to customers with a mortgage term that will end before they reach 75. If your loan carries an Early Repayment Charge, you will be unable to choose a term that finishes before the Early Repayment Charge period.
How interest is calculated
Interest is either calculated on daily or annual interest. Daily interest is calculated using the outstanding balance each day, adding it to the mortgage at the end of each month. This means that whenever your balance changes, for example when you make a payment, insterest starts to be charged on the new balance straightaway. With annual interest, the interest is adjusted just once each year rather than immediately following every payment.
Repaying the capital
As well as paying the interest due on your mortgage each month, you will have to repay the capital (the amount you have borrowed). It is up to you how and when you repay it to suit your circumstances, taking into account things like your age, marital status, dependants, the nature of your income and so on. Your options are:
- Repay your mortgage as you go, so it’s completely cleared by the end of the term. This is known as a repayment mortgage.
- Pay only the interest that’s due each month and repay the loan itself at the end of the term, usually from an investment plan - this is called an interest-only mortgage.
- Or do part and part - pay the interest and repay just part of the loan as you go, and repay the remainder at the end of the term as a lump sum.
