Decide what your searching for

Mortgages

There are two types of mortgage repayment mortgage or interest only?

• With a repayment mortgage you repay the capital and interest together in fixed installment typically over a 25-year term.

• Interest-only mortgages require you to service only the interest on the mortgage every month and do not reduce the outstanding capital balance over the term. Most mortgage lenders expect you to have in place a suitable repayment vehicle to provide you with sufficient capital to allow you to repay the outstanding debt at the end of the term. These are considered to be niche products and only suitable for certain clients, generally with larger deposits

Finding your new home

When viewing a property, you must be able to see it working for you, your family, and the lifestyle you lead  

Making an offer 

When you are ready to make your offer, call the estate agent immediately. If you like the property, the chances are others will too, so don’t delay!
