You will need a minimum of 5% deposit. The more deposit you put in, the better the interest rates will be. For example, if you put in a 15% deposit this will get you a better interest rate than a 10% deposit

A repayment mortgage is guaranteed to pay off your mortgage by the end of the term as long as all payments have been made. An interest only mortgage is where your monthly payments are only covering the cost of the interest and your loan amount will remain the same.At the end of the term, you would either need to sell the property to repay the mortgage or find another source to repay the loan.

This is simply swapping the mortgage you have on your current property for another mortgage with a different lender. You may consider this option if your existing mortgage deal has expired and you wanted to see if a more competitive deal was available. You could also consider this if your circumstances have changed and you want to borrow more. There are many reasons why you would remortgage but this does not involve moving home

The answer to this is simply down to what you can afford, although in some cases it might be a lenders condition for the loan.We would advise speaking to a mortgage adviser to ascertain what term is suitable to your circumstances.

In the first instance you should seek permission from your Mortgage Lender. Your lender may increase the interest rate to reflect the change in risk. A mortgage adviser can provide you with advice on your mortgage and insurance options. Remember that you may also need to change the type of building insurance you hold on the property to ensure it is appropriate for this purpose.

The first and most important thing to do is contact your lender as soon as possible. Lenders are required to treat borrowers in this position "sympathetically and positively". Some lenders also have telephone helplines and debt counselling facilities which may be able to help you.

Consideration prior to purchasing at Auction: Ensure mortgage approved in principle prior to bidding. Seek advice from a mortgage broker who accesses lenders service standards for quick mortgage offers. Be aware that you will need to provide a deposit at auction, not at mortgage completion. Obtain a copy of the property legal pack at earliest opportunity, prior to bidding.

A fixed rate mortgage means you fix the interest rate of your mortgage for an initial period. After the fixed rate ends your mortgage will go onto a variable rate. Fixing your mortgage means your mortgage payments are guaranteed to remain the same for the fixed term. Once you are on a variable rate your mortgage payments may move in line with market conditions, therefore your payments could go up or down.

With a repayment mortgage you pay off both the interest and capital with each monthly payment. This means at the end of the term your mortgage will be repaid. With an interest only mortgage you only pay the interest each month and the amount of capital owed will not reduce. This means you need to have suitable plans in place to pay off the mortgage at the end of the term.You could use sale of the mortgaged property, cash, stocks and shares, an endowment policy or pension.
