For first time buyers, mortgages can seem like a huge financial burden and, if you’ve never taken out a loan as large as your first mortgage, this may be quite intimidating..
If you move before the mortgage term is over on that property, you can transfer the existing mortgage over to the new one, effectively using a method called ‘porting’.
Approximately 33% of home loans in Britain are re-mortgages. What this means is you borrow money against your property, or you take out a new mortgage to replace the existing one.
A bridging loan is useful if the person needs to borrow money on a short-term basis. It is handy if they wish to purchase a new home before selling the old one.
Income protection insurance (IPI) is designed to pay out an income when an accident or serious illness prevents someone from earning a living through their normal occupation.
Life assurance can lessen the financial impact of someone passing away, but it must be remembered that serious illness can also create a significant financial burden.
