WHAT’S A MORTGAGE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

A mortgage is a loan that you take out to buy a property. Most run for 25 years but can be shorter or longer. The money you borrow is called the capital and the lender charges you interest on it until it is repaid. The loan is ‘secured’ against the value of your home until it’s paid off. If you can’t keep up your repayments the lender can repossess your home and sell it so they get their money back.
