Find a 20 year Mortgage

There are a lot of mortgage deals on the market today that allow you to make regular monthly payments for a fixed number of years over a lengthy time period. You can apply for a 20-year mortgage if you decide that is the most suitable option for you and your financial situation.

The mortgage provider will then look at your finances to decide if you can afford it. For more information and guidance about 20-year mortgage rates or any other type of mortgage get in touch with Finance Advice Centre today. Our specialist advisers will answer any questions you might have and can help find the most suitable deals for you.

Can you get a 20-year mortgage?

Standard mortgage terms in the UK are typically 25 years, but you can get a mortgage that lasts between 6 months and 40 years. For example, if you took out a 25-year mortgage in 2010 and made all of the repayments, it would be fully paid off by 2035. If you are getting your first mortgage:

A term of less than 20 years is considered to be a short-term mortgage
A term that is 30 years or more would be a long-term mortgage
However, when it comes to fixed interest rates long-term fixed rate deals have been quite rare since the 2008 financial crisis as lenders have become increasingly risk averse. So, in terms of 20-year fixed mortgage rates you may struggle to find a good offer from a lender, but it is still worth researching and seeing what is available to you.

What mortgage term is most suitable?

When comparing mortgages for the same amount borrowed, but over different time periods, longer term mortgages generally cost less per month because the repayments are spread over an extended term. However, you will pay more overall because you are charged more interest when you have a mortgage over a longer term.

Shorter term mortgages for a same sized mortgage will cost more each month but let you pay the balance off quicker. Therefore, you will own your home outright much quicker and pay less overall because you are charged less interest.
Everyone’s financial circumstances are different and what may be suitable for one person might not suit someone else. So, the most suitable mortgage term is one that gives you affordable monthly repayments but does not have you paying more interest than is necessary. 20-year mortgages will give you slightly higher monthly payments so make sure you can fully afford them before you commit but you will pay less at the end as you won’t pay as much interest as a 30-year mortgage for example.

It’s important to decide how long you want to repay your mortgage as well. For example, if you retire in 20 years and want to be mortgage free by then, you could choose a 20-year term if you can afford it.

As a mortgage is secured against your home it could be repossessed if you do not keep up the mortgage repayments.

Whole of Market Mortgage Advice

Being able to give ‘Whole of Market’ Mortgage Advice means that we have access to the widest range of lenders. These lenders include “High Street Banks, “Challenger Banks and Building Societies . However, just because a mortgage advisor has access to the Whole of the Market, doesn’t mean that they necessarily have the right knowledge or expertise to be able to give you the right Mortgage Advice and therefore the best products. We believe that Finance Advice Centre is very different. Our Advisers are all trained with specialist complex cases in mind. No matter how challenging your situation, if there’s a solution for you, we’ll do everything we possibly can to find it!

We especially enjoy working on complex mortgage cases. One example is if you’re trying to get a mortgage but have only just started a new job. Many lenders will require you to have been working in that role for a set amount of time. Having access to the Whole of Market wouldn’t necessarily mean that all advisors giving Mortgage Advice know which lenders to place your case with even though they are able to use all of them. Clients who are recently self employed or contractors often cause other advisors problems. However, our advisors specialise in these types of cases and deal with them every day.
