Rate rises versus your mortgage (part 2)

Remember the part 1 of this article?
Now let’s read the rest of the facts of rate rises topic.

Tracker mortgage

By taking a tracker mortgage, your monthly repayment will rise when the Bank of England increases the base of interest rate. However, when the Bank of England decreases the base rate, your monthly repayment will drop as well.

Hence, tracker mortgages can be a good option for you who have a flexible income if you are looking for a mortgage product because a flexible income commonly can resist effectively with the repayment fluctuations.

Capped rate mortgage

Taking a capped rate mortgage can give you benefit that is the rise in the interest rate may or may not affect your repayment. The effect will depend on the cap which means that your interest rate rises only up to the cap and no further when there is a rate rise rises to above the cap.

Capped rate mortgage is a good choice especially when the interest rates are high and fluctuating. You will never know how far your finance will stretch in the future. So, protecting it with a capped rate mortgage is worth considering so that you can take the benefit when the interest rate falls significantly during your mortgage term.

Discount rate mortgage

As what a regular variable rate mortgage applies, a discount rate mortgage interest rate will also rise if the lender decides to raise the interest rate during your term period. What makes them significantly different is the impact of the rise on your finance. With a discount rate mortgage, you will be able to get lower interest rate during the first period of your mortgage term.

Rate rises versus your mortgage (part 1)

Guys, today I just want to share with some of the important facts about rate rises. This article will be presented in the point forms. So here it is:

Your mortgage must not always get affected by a rate rise

One very important thing you have to know as a mortgage hunter is you must be well-informed whether your chosen mortgage is easily affected by the rate rise. To learn easily about this matter, you can use this following quick guide.

Fixed rate mortgage

Taking a fixed rate mortgage allows you highly to get your interest rate fixed. It means that it will not rise even though there is a rise in the market of mortgage interest. But you need to know that your lender’s standard variable rate will rise when the Bank of England increases the base rate.

Consequently, it can affect your finance in the long run because your repayment will significantly rise at the end of your fixed rate period, specifically if there is a significant gap between the interest rates charged on you now with the one when you took this fixed rate mortgage. However, you can avoid this by remortgaging to a new lender to get a new fixed rate period.

Variable rate mortgage

Taking variable rate mortgage will allow the lender to adjust the interest rate immediately to the base rate enacted by the Bank of England. Consequently, you must cover the higher monthly repayment as it will also automatically rise. This is the harsh disadvantage of taking variable rate mortgages.

However, you can also obtain good advantages from this variable rate mortgage, that is; you can avoid the future possible rate rises. You know that when the interest rate during your mortgage term decreases, your monthly repayment will fall as well. So, in the long run it helps you manage your finances better.

Moreover, you can get variable rate mortgages that offer discounts. By then, if there is a sudden rise in the interest rate, the impact you get will be less.

Credit scams.

Are you unable to pay your monthly bills?
Not able to handle debtors?
So, you’re having people offer you free or paid services to improve your credit score, is it?

Well, believe it or not, you’re being taken for a ride. Such websites are scam who steal the money and leave you in more financial crunch. This article will act as a how to guide for evading sensibly such credit score scams.

The general working of such companies is like this:

The website which offers the improving credit score service takes an upfront payment from you. Apparently, they say they’ve got your credit score removed from a negative rating which appears to be completely false. They show you the proof but when you check with the bureau you would’ve realized it is too late to do anything.

What is worse is that lots of websites say they can improve their credit score for free. Once you give them your credit card details, they might tell that you’ll be charged only after the negative remark is removed but unfortunately charge you without doing so.

How do evade this issue?

The best way of evading this issue is to know the credentials of the company before signing up for their service. Usually, recommendation from friends or personal auditors is a great way to stay safe from these credit score scams.
