Interest-only Mortgage:
With this type of mortgage, only the interest is paid off, which means the lump sum lent initially is payable at the end of the period. This is commonly taken up if the borrower believes they can earn a significantly higher rate of interest than the mortgage rate. Typically, these mortgages are linked to schemes such as ISAs or an endowment policy. The payment shown below covers only the interest - one would still need to save elsewhere.
