Mortgages UK Online

It's hard to find the right mortgages online. With over 500 providers of mortgages and over 7000 mortgage products you may need help to find the best deal for your purposes.

There are many different types of mortgages. For instance, the most basic are variable rate mortgages, where you pay the lender's standard variable rate. Some mortgages will offer discounts from this variable rate, called a discount variable mortgage. Tracker mortgages will follow the Bank of England base rate up and down, while fixed rate mortgages feature a pay rate that is fixed for a period of time. Flexible mortgages will allow underpayments and payment holidays along with overpayments. A type of flexible mortgage is the current account mortgage, making your mortgage into a large overdraft, reduced when your salary is in and added to by borrowing or spending. Capped mortgages are set up not to rise over a set rate, but can fall if interest rates go down. A variation of this is the capped and collar mortgage, which is where the mortgage has to stay within a lower and upper limit, rather than being a fetish.

Should you wish to invest in a further property in order to rent it out, you can get a buy-to-let mortgage. Should you be self-employed, and not have 3 years accounts to show a lender, you may need to get a self-certification mortgage. Should you not be able to provide proof of your income, there are non-status mortgages available, usually offered by sub-prime lenders, who snap up borrowers that the mainstream lenders won't touch.
