Therefore its worth checking with us before taking out a mortgage to make sure you are really get the suitable mortgage deal.
Have a look at the Money Helper Service guide to mortgages or contact us today to arrange a no obligation meeting to discuss your personal circumstances.
If you are looking to rent out a property you own, you’ll need a special mortgage called a buy-to-let mortgage. buy-to-let mortgages are the same as ordinary mortgages but have key differences:
- Buy-to-let mortgages usually have higher interest rates.
- Fee’s associated to Buy-to-let mortgages are also much higher.
- You’ll need a minimum deposit of 20%, but the bigger your deposit the better.
- The majority of Buy-to-let mortgages are interest only
- The amount you can borrow is linked to what you expect to receive from your rental income. However, generally lenders want the rental income to be at least 25% higher then your mortgage payment.
Contact us today to discuss your Buy-to-let mortgage options.
We were all first time buyers at some point but making the right decision now could save you thousands in interest payments. We’ll take you through the home buying process step-by-step explaining everything along the way so you’ll have all the facts to make the right decision about what lender and mortgage type you choose.
Generally to get a mortgage you’ll need to have:
- Savings of at least 5% of the cost of the home you would like to buy. For example if your home is £150,000 you’ll need at least £7,500 in savings. If you can save more than this will ultimately get you a better mortgage interest rate and a wider selection to choose from.
- Money saved for Stamp duty, Solicitors fee’s, Survey and potentially removal costs.
If you are lucky enough to have a good amount of savings in an account you can offest the interest on your mortgage with the amount you have in your savings account. For example if you had a mortgage of £100,000 and had savings of £20,000 you would only pay interest on £80,000 rather than £100,000. Because you’ll be paying less interest, you can pay off more of the amount you borrowed. This also means you could take years off your mortgage and therefore pay less interest in the long run. Contact us today to see if you could save money with an offset mortgage, THe saving and Mortgage Loan should be held with the same provider.
Pension advice
FREE no obligation initial meeting with our pension expert.
The earlier you start making provisions for retirement, the more you will build up your pension fund.
To encourage people to provide for their own retirement the government has made personal pension plans tax efficient and a very effective way of saving for the future.
However changes in legislation mean this can be a very complex area of financial planning. We will explain the options to you simply and in plain English to enable you to make an informed decision as to your pension needs.
Investment advice
Interest rates on your bank or building society savings have historically been very low, often below the rate of inflation. Over the years, the things you want to buy are getting more expensive but your savings may not be making enough to keep up with the cost of buying them.
So, to make real potential growth over the longer term, you need to invest some of your money into plans that have the ability to perform better than inflation. As well as the potential for stronger growth, you also need to ensure that you are taking advantage of the tax-free and tax-efficient allowances that are available to you. Proper investment planning really just means that your money can work harder, and last longer, for you.
The value of investments and the income they produce can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested.
