What happens if you have an interest-only mortgage?

With an interest-only mortgage, your monthly payment pays only the interest charges on your loan, not any of the original capital borrowed. This means your payments will be less than on a repayment mortgage, but at the end of the term you’ll still owe the original amount you borrowed from the lender.

Is it better to reduce mortgage term or monthly payments?

If you were to shorten your mortgage term, you could potentially save interest. The interest you’re contractually obliged to pay reduces because, from the lender’s point of view, you’ll have fewer years in which to pay back the money.

Is it worth overpaying a fixed rate mortgage?

The answer to this, almost always, is that you should overpay – if you have the choice. Decreasing the term sounds sensible, and does almost exactly the same job that overpaying does – both mean you pay more each month, you pay less interest, and your mortgage is paid off sooner.

Is it worth overpaying an interest-only mortgage?

Overpayment. On a repayment mortgage, paying extra on your mortgage helps you pay off the capital faster. But with an interest-only loan, overpaying will only reduce your future interest payments, not the loan itself, so this is unlikely to be a viable option for paying down your loan.

Why would you have an interest-only mortgage?

The advantages of interest only mortgages are: Lower monthly payments because they only cover the interest. More flexibility to choose where your money goes. You could save up enough to pay off your mortgage more quickly or keep a lump sum to buy something else.
