Only pay the interest

With an interest only mortgage your monthly repayments only pay the interest on your loan. You will still have to pay the whole amount you originally borrowed at the end of the mortgage term.

As the monthly payments are for interest only, it is important when comparing the total monthly cost of an interest only mortgage with those of a repayment mortgage, to include the money put aside as savings.

How it works

  • The original amount you borrowed stays the same
    You're not paying back any of the capital you borrowed each month, just the interest for the loan period. So at the end of your mortgage term you will still owe the original amount you borrowed.
  • The original amount you borrowed will need to be paid in one lump sum
    At the end of the mortgage term you will need to make a lump sum payment of the whole amount you originally borrowed.

You will need to make separate arrangements to make sure you can pay the final lump sum. This will normally be some form of investment such as an ISA, endowment, PEP or pension - or you may need to sell the property.
