Interest Rate Explained


Understanding interest rates is the key to mortgages and understanding how you can end up paying around double the mortgage amount over the lifetime of the mortgage.

This simply refers to the percentage rate at which the mortgage lender (your bank or building society) calculates the interest that they will charge you as the borrower for the mortgage.
