Types of interest rate

The interest rate element of a mortgage is the most important to consider, and there are many different types available.

The higher lending charge

Some lenders may ask for an additional fee from those wanting to borrow a high percentage of a property's value to cover the higher risk that they may not get all their money back should something go wrong.
