A Guide to Mortgages

Hereโ€ฆ weโ€™ll explore what a mortgage is and how it works, and the different types of mortgages and repayment options. Itโ€™s important you understand this, so you can make an informed decision.

Of course, a Mortgage Expert from AL Mortgage Solutions will be there to guide you every step of the way but this section should give you a better understanding of what to expect. Whilst all this information is helpful, if you would like some advice based on your individual circumstances we’re only a phone call away. Please CONTACT US now on 07412563920 to discuss your options in more detail.

What is a Mortgage?

A mortgage is a sum of money, a lender (typically a bank or building society) lends to a borrower (typically an individual/s) which is then secured against a property. The lender lends the money (with the promise) that the borrower will pay them back plus interest on a monthly basis over the term of the mortgage. Should the borrower stop making repayments the lender has the right to take ownership of the property (this is known as a repossession).

What are the different types of Mortgages?

There are many different types of mortgages and this section will explore some of the different types available to you. The first thing to understand is the Bank of England base rate. The Bank of England base rate is reviewed monthly and can go up or down depending on the state of the economy. The main measure for this is inflation.

All lenders set their rates based on the Bank of England base rate, so as a result, mortgage rates have been low for quite some time now. This is great news for you because when the rates are low โ€“ your payments are too!

The two most popular types of rates are fixed and tracker rates but there are other types you may want to consider depending on your circumstances so itโ€™s always best to get advice on the right product for you.

Me and my boyfriend went to Alex at AL mortgage solutions after a few recommendations from friends and also some really reviews I had seen via Instagram. I had done some shopping around and messaged a few mortgage advisors but Alex got back to me so fast and answered all my initial questions. We chose to go with Alex and his team and we were so glad we did! He was there to answer all of our questions as well as sorting us the best mortgage deal even when times were uncertain with Covid. He made the process as easy as he possibly could and we weโ€™re very happy with the service Alex and the team provided. Thanks again

Alex made everything easy for us he done all the hard work for us and made what didn't feel possible, possible ๐Ÿ™‚ in just under 5 months of seeing Alex for the first time we became home owners probably sooner if we wasn't so fussy on houses. Highly recommend Alex 100% even if it just for advice he's the best person for it. Lisa & Brad thank you Alex once again.

Alex is friendly, approachable and professional. He has gone over and above on many occasions for myself and family members who I have recommended him to. Nothing is ever too much trouble and the advice he gives has been tailored to my individual needs. I can't recommend Alex and his team enough!
