Interest Only Mortgage? A Ticking Time Bomb
Is your Interest-only mortgage term coming to an end? A question we ask many of our clients.
It is entirely understandable why buyers were dazzled by the lure of relatively small monthly repayments, for what was then deemed to be an extended period, against such attractive yields.
Recently, we have seen clients struggling with the repayment of interest-only mortgages, many of whom have already approached their lender for more time. In some cases, the lender may have changed entirely to a new entity, leaving borrowers left to deal with essentially what is a different bank than the one who initially sold the mortgage.
Such requests have usually been refused as the Banks stick rigorously to the mortgage contract, which outlines term dates from interest-only to repayment.
The 10–15-year period of interest-only mortgages usually continues long into the early first years of retirement: a time when significant changes in disposable income occur, which can be devastating.
For example, a gentleman, now 78 years old, recently advised us that his mortgage would rise from €345 per month to an unsustainable €2,894 per month along with his income dropping by 75%.
