Why Should You Get A Capped Mortgage?
By Peter Kenny
Many people who get variable rate mortgages find that they can mix the security of a fixed rate whilst still having variable rates by getting a capped plan. If you are looking for a variable rate then you should seriously consider putting a cap on the mortgage. Here is some useful advice about whether or not you should proceed with a capped mortgage:
What is a capped mortgage?
Capped mortgages are a type of variable rate mortgage. A variable rate means that the interest rate on your repayments can vary. By putting a cap on the interest rate, it means that even if your interest rate changes, it can only change by so much. There is an upper limit on what you can pay, but if the interest rate falls then you will pay less. Capped mortgages are the option in between variable and fixed rate mortgages.
What are the advantages?
The obvious advantage of a capped is that you can benefit from variable rates but never have to pay above a certain limit. This allows you to take advantage of potentially lower rates, but also adequately budget each month and have peace of mind that your payments will not rise above a certain amount. In many ways, a capped is the best of both worlds. If you think that interest rates are going to go down, then getting a fixed rate now would be unwise as the fixed rate will
be uncompetitive in a year’s time. Also, if you think that interest rates are going to rise then you want to have an upper limit on how much you can be charged. If you want a mixture of security and cheap prices, then a capped rate is for you.
The pitfalls
However, all of these benefits come at a price. Capped rates are usually higher than fixed rate or variable rate starting prices, because you get so many benefits. Also, there are not as many lenders willing to offer capped rate mortgages because of the obvious benefits to the borrower. You usually have to have a good credit history and even then it can be hard to get a capped mortgage. However, if you don’t mind paying a slightly higher rate and want the chance to get lower prices as well as being able to budget, then a capped rate is for you.
Getting a capped rate mortgage
As previously mentioned, there are fewer lenders offering capped rate mortgages than other types of mortgage. This makes shopping around an easier task, but it is still necessary to do so in order to find the best deals. If you are still unsure about whether or not a capped rate is suitable for you, then speak to an independent financial advisor. Even if you already have a mortgage, you might be able to negotiate a deal with your current lender and put a cap on your variable rate mortgage.
