Terms and Conditions
 

Fixed

a mortgage product that is fixed for a period of anything between 2 and 10 years.

Fixed stepped

a mortgage product that again is fixed for a set period, however this one normally starts at the lower end of the market say 3.85% but over the course of say three years, will increase year on year, until it matches the banks standard variable rate

Tracker

a mortgage product that tracks the Bank of England’s base rate. This is normally plus a % say .49% therefore if the Bank of England’s base rate is as it is now the product would equal 4.5% + 0.49% giving you an interest rate of 4.49%, this product mirrors the base rate throughout the term of the product again this can be from 2 years to term if you wish.

Discount

this is a product that usually mirrors the standard variable rate of the bank (not to be confused with the Bank of England base rate) the standard variable rate is an interest rate set by the bank themselves, and is usually set higher than that of the Bank of England and the discount is then applied to this amount, for example 6.5% - 2.5, this would give you an interest rate of 4% again this would increase and decrease in line with the Bank of England, even though it is set higher.

Capped Rate

The rate of interest is variable but will not rise above an agreed level for a specified period then a variable rate (your lenders current variable rate) applies thereafter

Overhangs

this is where that lovely rate came in and you thought you had bagged yourself a bargain only to discover that after your fixed period ends you are not free to go and in fact are stuck with the standard variable rate for another set period or you will incur redemption penalties,
NB: This is definitely not a product that we at Mortgages Made Simple will lead you into.

Overpayments/underpayments

there are flexible products on the market, if this is an option you require talk to one of our advisors.

Offset

when your mortgage is linked with either your savings account or your current account, you are charged interest for all that is outstanding but also have the ability to use the account as usual, overpay and underpay, providing your mortgage is up to date.

Repayment Mortgage

capital and interest, your monthly repayments will reduce the amount of capital and interest you have borrowed, reducing the debt over time, until it is clear.

Interest only

payments of this type of mortgage require a repayment vehicle to be in place in the form of endowment, ISA, savings, as the monthly repayments reflect only the interest element of the debt and not the debt itself, so the capital part will remain unchanged throughout the term of the loan.

Buy to Let

property that is invested in, for the return of rent, this is an investment purchase.

Let to buy

your own residential property is used as an investment (rented out property) with the view to buying a new residential property for you and your family.
