Mortgage – a loan secured against a property allowing the buyer to purchase the property over a pre-determined period of time at an agreed arte of interest that will fluctuate depending upon market forces.

Mortgages are a very useful product that allow people to purchase a property that they otherwise would not be able to afford. There are a variety of mortgage deals available and if you are hoping to get a mortgage secured against a property you must first confirm that you can afford to repay a mortgage on the property.

A useful tool to help you check if you can afford the mortgage is a mortgage calculator which you will be able to find on most mortgage brokers sites. If you are unsure whether you will be able to secure a mortgage we would advise that you speak to a mortgage advisor who will not only be able to confirm whether you are able to secure a mortgage but also advise you on which product suits your requirements.

The mortgage advisor will assess your situation and ask whether you would like a fixed term mortgage so you will know how much will leave your mortgage account each month or whether you would prefer a tracker mortgage that will fluctuate with changes in the market.

If you are not yet on the property ladder you may want to search for specific products for first time buyers mortgages or if you are looking to buy a second property to rent out you will have to look at buy to let mortgages.

Mortgage lenders will be able to compare mortgages for you to see which deal suits your circumstances and your mortgage rate will be effected by the amount of your deposit for your mortgage and your credit rating.
