What are flexible Mortgages?
A flexible mortgage is a type of mortgage that could allow you to make overpayments, underpayments and take payment holidays without any additional cost to you.
Flexible mortgages are especially good as they allow you to overpay on your mortgage and save on interest rate payments.
Most flexible mortgages will:
- Allow you to make Overpayments
- Allow you to make Underpayments
- Allow you to take Payment Holidays
- Provide a reserve account from which you can access overpayments you have made
- Ability to offset savings and reduce the amount of mortgage debt you pay interest on
Advantages of Flexible mortgages
Flexible mortgages give you the option to overpay or underpay which can drastically reduce the cost of your mortgage.
Flexible mortgages allow you to manage your financial life especially in times when your financial situation becomes worse. You can take payment holidays at no cost to you
Disadvantages of flexible mortgages
Flexible mortgages will usually have higher interest rates than typical mortgages due to their flexibility.
