Flexible Mortgages
Most mortgage rates follow the Bank of England's base rate up-or-down. This means that the monthly mortgage repayments may increase as well as decrease.
It is quite common after a period of 6 months to arrange a reduction or miss up to 6 monthly payments in any period of 12 consecutive months, up to a maximum of 18 monthly payments, throughout the mortgage term.
Again different lenders may alter their flexible mortgage products and conditions will apply.
Alternatively one can increase their monthly mortgage payments and overpay a few extra pounds each month, enabling one to repay their flexible mortgage early and potentially save thousands of pounds in mortgage interest.
Flexible Mortgage Interest
Interest is calculated daily, and enables one to benefit immediately from any overpayment.
However, interest will continue to accrue throughout the underpayment or payment holiday period, in turn increasing the balance of a flexible mortgage and amount of mortgage interest charged.
