With interest rates at an all time low, mortgages are more attractive than ever for the prospective buyer. Contrastingly, a common concern amongst purchasers is what to do in the event of an interest rate increase, here are some professional tips on how to stay afloat:
1. Reconsider your mortgage provider
If you’ve been with your current lender for a while, it may be time to reconsider. There is a good possibility of cheaper loans available that suit your needs. Searching for a more suitable mortgage can be a very daunting and time consuming process. “Consult a professional broker, they have the necessary expertise to not only provide the best advise and help you find the perfect home loan, but also streamline your personal finances – giving you more control over your money and the freedom to enjoy the life you love”, Daniel Pym Mortage broker and financial planner.
2. Consider an interest only loan

3. Reconsider your Budget
