Interest Only Fixed Rate Mortgage 

An interest only fixed rate mortgage would typically work in the following way:

• Each month you make payments to cover the interest of your mortgage loan
• The level of interest you would pay each month is set at a fixed rate for a certain amount of time (the fixed rate offer period)
• At the same time as making monthly interest only payments, you would be expected to be paying money into a long term savings plan on a regular basis
• At the end of your mortgage’s term, you would be expected to pay off the entire mortgage loan with the money from your savings plan.

An interest only fixed rate mortgage could carry the following benefits:

• As you are only required to pay interest payments, an interest only fixed rate mortgage could be initially cheaper
• The fixed interest rate could provide you with a sense of security, as it is not subject to change with the Bank of England base interest rate; this could also make it easier for you to set budgets

However, you may wish to consider the potential drawbacks:

• If the base interest rate dropped, your rate would still be fixed at the same amount
• There is a risk that your savings may not be able to cover your mortgage loan at the end of the term
