Mortgages: which one suits?
Whether you are buying your own home or an investment property, most people require a mortgage to do so. There are so many mortgage loans available, that it can be difficult to ensure that you have chosen the correct one for your circumstances. Your mortgage is likely to be your most expensive monthly outgoing and a commitment that will remain in place for a significant amount of time. It is therefore imperative that you receive full and comprehensive advice before making a decision. At Cherry Tree Financial, we can ensure that you receive not only the best product available but also the most suitable product for your individual circumstances having considered the varying requirements of individual lenders.

Mortgage Options
The type of mortgage recommended will depend on both your individual circumstances and the specific requirements of the lender. The mortgage options currently available are Fixed, Tracker, Discounted, Variable, Offset, LIBOR, or First.
Whether you require lending for the purpose of purchasing a new home, re-mortgaging an existing property, releasing equity or as a first-time buyer we are able to advise. Please contact us for further information.
There are two main ways you can pay off your mortgage, they are as follows:
Capital and Interest Repayment – the monthly payment calculated would pay back both the interest due on the loan and part of the capital of the loan, ensuring that at the end of the agreed term your mortgage is redeemed in full.
Interest Only – each monthly payment would contribute to the interest due on the loan only. At the end of the mortgage term the original loan amount would remain and be required to be repaid in full. Lenders would expect a suitable repayment vehicle to run in conjunction with the mortgage to ensure that the loan can be repaid in full at the end of the term.

Mortgage Term
Most people opt for a 25 year term when they take their first mortgage out. However, you can apply for a longer or shorter term. If you go for a longer term, your repayments will be lower, but it will take you longer to pay off the debt and the interest due would be higher. The shorter the term, the sooner you will be mortgage free.
