Three variables determine your capital and interest repayment — and understanding each one helps you make smarter decisions about your mortgage.
The more you borrow, the higher your monthly repayment. Even a small reduction in your loan amount — through a larger deposit or a lower purchase price — can make a meaningful difference to your monthly outgoings and the total interest paid.
Your interest rate has the single biggest impact on your monthly payment. A difference of just 0.5% on a £300,000 mortgage over 25 years can equate to thousands of pounds over the mortgage term — which is why whole-of-market advice matters so much.
A longer term reduces your monthly payment but significantly increases the total interest you pay. A 35-year term vs a 25-year term on the same loan can cost tens of thousands more in interest — even if the monthly saving seems attractive.
