Interest-only mortgages are becoming an increasingly popular choice among Sturgess Mortgage Solutions clients who want to keep their monthly payments as low as possible. These mortgages allow you to pay only the interest each month, with the loan balance remaining the same until the end of the term.
At Sturgess Mortgage Solutions, we have access to a wide range of lenders, from high-street banks to specialist providers, offering interest-only mortgages tailored to different financial situations.
Who Qualifies for an Interest-Only Mortgage?
Many lenders have relaxed their criteria for interest-only mortgages, making them more widely available. Some lenders require minimum earnings of £75,000–£100,000, while others focus on the level of equity in your property instead of income.
Our mortgage experts will assess your situation to find the best lender for you, ensuring you meet the necessary criteria.
Repayment Options for Interest-Only Mortgages
Since you are not repaying the loan balance each month, you will need a repayment strategy in place for the end of the mortgage term. Lenders may accept:
✅ Sale of the property – A common option where the proceeds from selling your home are used to repay the loan.
✅ Investment plans – Regular contributions to an ISA, pension, or investment portfolio to generate enough capital over time.
✅ Buy-to-let properties – Some lenders allow rental property assets to be used as a repayment vehicle.
Our team will review your repayment strategy and recommend the most suitable lenders based on your financial plans.
Benefits of an Interest-Only Mortgage
✔️ Lower monthly payments – Since you're only paying the interest, your repayments are more affordable than a standard capital repayment mortgage.
✔️ Greater financial flexibility – Ideal for those looking to free up cash flow for investments or other expenses.
✔️ More lending options – Many lenders now offer flexible interest-only terms, making them accessible to more borrowers.
Stay on Track with Your Mortgage Repayment Plan
It’s important to regularly review your repayment plan to ensure you’ll be able to settle the mortgage balance at the end of the term. Our advisers can help you stay on track and make adjustments if needed.
