Variable Base Rate
This is the traditional type of mortgage in the UK, which fluctuates from time to time depending on the government's economic and monetary policy. 


Discount Rate

This is a discount on the lender's normal variable base rate, lasting for a guaranteed period of time. It will vary in that period if the base rate varies and will revert to the base rate at the end of the period. 

 

Fixed Rate
Here the rate is guaranteed to stay fixed,  for a specified period, after which it can be expected to revert to the lender's normal variable rate, or you may have the option to transfer to a new fixed rate.

Capped Rate
This is a form of variable rate where the rate stated is guaranteed not to rise above an agreed rate of interest within a specified period. However, the interest rate may fall during the capped period, meaning you make a lower payment. It can be expected to revert to the lender's normal rate at the end of the capped period.


Why use CJR Associates?


CJR Associates use modern technology to provide you with  a specialist computer based mortgage information service which covers all the mortgage schemes from all of providers - including building societies, banks, insurance companies, and specialist lenders, some of which are only available on-line.
This selection is of considerable advantage to you, letting you choose from all of the available mortgages in the marketplace.

CJR Associates act as your professional adviser, not a mortgage company. As independent financial advisers we are best placed to compare products using our computerised search facility and can ensure that you  get the best mortgage to suit your personal circumstances.

 

Why not go to my local Bank or Building Society?


The traditional image of arranging your mortgage from your local building society or bank has become less popular. 
New technology has forced many of these lenders to set up new mortgage companies which specialise in only providing mortgage through intermediaries or on-line through the internet.

With the wide variety of mortgages available, which Option you choose can greatly effect your monthly payments, both during the early years and later on.
 
What is a mortgage?

Are you a First time Buyer?


With first time buyers accounting for 50% of all new mortgages, it is understandable that there is intense competition between lenders. CJR Associates can find the best for you, and can show you which lenders allow fees, such as arrangement fees and indemnity guarantee premiums, to be added to the loan, rather than paid up front. 

Second Time Buyers
When buying your second or subsequent property, you normally have higher personal surplus capital sum from the sale of your property. Therefore a lower loan to property valuation  is normally required. Many lenders offer lower interest rates for this type of lending, which is regarded as less risky.
You can find that often a considerable saving over the longer term can be made by borrowing a lower amount against the value of the property. This can save you a considerable amount of money over the mortgage term, due to lower fees, and indemnity insurance.

Remortgages -  normally involve some element of raising capital, such as home improvements, payment of credit card debts, school fees, and divorce settlements.
Often you are changing lender, and at the same time taking out a larger loan to cover the existing loan and raising a cash sum for your own use.
Lenders conditions and interest rates vary as to what they will allow people to remortgage for. It is important that you find the best lender to suit your requirements.
