First Time Buyers Mortgages

30, 35, 40 year mortgages

How 30, 35, 40 year mortgages work
Depending on your age, loans can be taken for up to 57 years compared with the traditional 25. Your repayments will be lower, even on a repayment style mortgage where you pay back both capital and interest.
For lenders that work on affordability criteria (money that goes in and out every month) you may be more likely to qualify for a loan.
A long-term mortgage like this is rarely taken as an upfront deal – it just becomes extended as the borrower goes along. Decreasing the term as you grow older and earn more will save quite a bit of the interest charges
