Notes:
1. The above Mortgage calculator is based
on an annual reset type mortgage which
recalculates mortgage payments once a year.
Because of this they will probably slightly overstate
the monthly payments for most mortgages which tend
to calculate payments on a monthly or daily
basis.
3. A repayment mortgage is one where mortgage
payments cover both interest costs and repayment of the
original loan, so that the mortgage amount decreases
over time. This will guarentee that the mortgage is
repaid at the end of the term.
3. An interest only mortgage is one where
mortgage payments only cover the interest. With
interest only loans, the mortgage amount does not
automatically decrease over time. Usually,
borrowers will set up an ISA, endowment or some other
investment product (at additional cost), designed to
repay the loan at the end of its term.
