An Interest Only loan suited to investors with the option of a variable or fixed interest rate.
To safeguard against interest rate increases you can fix your interest rate for a period of time. This gives you the certainty of knowing what your repayments will be during this period and the flexibility of repaying your loan without any penalty after the fixed interest rate period. You can also select an Interest Only option for 1 - 5 or 10 years, freeing up funds that would otherwise contribute to principal repayments for investment purposes or saving.
