Ways we can help
If you plan to sell your home to pay off your interest only mortgage you will need to think about where you’re going to live.
You may wish to:
- Use the equity from your home to buy a cheaper property with no mortgage
- Use the equity from your home to buy a cheaper property and have a smaller repayment mortgage
- Move into a rented property or with family
With each of these options (particularly the first two) you’ll need to make sure that you have enough equity in your property to make your plan work.
You will need to think about:
- How much is your property is worth and how much money will be left over after you’ve repaid your mortgage?
- How much would a cheaper property cost? Can you afford the difference?
- If you would need to maintain a smaller mortgage, how much could you afford to pay each month? And for how long?
- When will be the right time for you to move? Is it better to move sooner whilst you’re younger and in good health, rather than wait until later in the term?
