Interest only mortgage questions, answered

What is an interest only mortgage?

An interest only mortgage allows you to pay just the interest on your loan each month, rather than repaying the capital. This keeps monthly payments lower, but you will still need a clear plan in place to repay the original loan amount at the end of the term.

How do you repay an interest only mortgage?

Lenders usually require a suitable repayment strategy. This could include selling the property, downsizing, investments, savings or other assets. The acceptable option will depend on the lender and your individual circumstances.

Are interest only mortgages harder to get?

They can be more restricted than standard repayment mortgages. Lenders often have stricter criteria around income, equity and repayment plans. However, there are still options available, particularly with the right advice and access to a wide range of lenders.

Do I need a large deposit or equity for an interest only mortgage?

In many cases, yes. Interest only mortgages typically require a higher level of equity or deposit compared to repayment mortgages. The exact requirement will vary depending on the lender and your overall financial profile.

Can I switch from repayment to interest only?

It may be possible to switch, but it will depend on your lender’s criteria and whether you can demonstrate a suitable repayment strategy. We can review your current mortgage and explain whether switching could be an option.
