Flexible Mortgage is one which is quite simply flexible in the way it operates.
For example, a mortgage which allows you to overpay your mortgage and sometimes
under pay, the way it applies its interest rate (preferably daily), a lack
of early redemption penalties and the ability for you to re-borrow any money
you have overpaid. Such flexibility can be very useful.
Remember, on average people change their mortgage every five or six years.
This is in response to the usual incidence of moving home plus an increasing
tendency to re-mortgage to take advantage of cheaper mortgage deals.
Today’s mortgage market is a great deal more competitive than ever
before. Re-mortgaging is in vogue because borrowers now realise that it’s
really easy to change their mortgage lender, particularly with a mortgage
adviser to hold their hand and organise everything. This has fostered
a ‘Bargin hunter’ mentality within the mortgage market with
borrowers looking for the ‘best offer’ at every opportunity.
We do not think that that is a bad development as it maintains the pressure
on the lenders to be ever more competitive in order to attract and retain
customers.
If a Flexible Mortgage interests you, you are well advised to talk to
a professional mortgage broker. Ask for a quote now and we’ll organise
