FAQS

  • What is the difference between Capital and Repayment and Interest only?

    Capital and Repayment is when you pay a small amount off your mortgage each month and the remainder is interest for the mortgage you have borrowed. At the end of  the term of your mortgage providing no changes have been made to your mortgage, it would be paid off in its entirety and you would own your home.  Interest Only is where you never repay any of the mortgage (only the interest element) and at the end of the term this must be repaid by a repayment vehicle or sale of property.
