  What is a UK mortgage?  
 
A UK mortgage is quite simply an amount of capital borrowed by a homeowner from a mortgage lender such as a bank or a broker, in order to purchase a property. The property itself is used as security against the mortgage loan, so if you failed to keep up the repayments on your UK mortgage then your home would be at risk. Once you have been accepted for a UK mortgage you will receive the requested amount of capital which will enable you to purchase your desired property and you will repay the lender over an agreed period of time. You will agree to make payments, usually every month, in order to repay your loan. At the end of the mortgage term you will have paid off both the capital that you originally borrowed and the interest that was charged upon it, and you will finally own the property outright.

There are, however, many different types of mortgages, and various ways in which the interest rate can be charged. This can at times be confusing so it is a good idea to get a grip of the basics before you start looking for a UK mortgage. This way you will get to know which type of mortgage is most likely to suit your needs and what to look for when comparing deals. A mortgage is probably the biggest financial commitment that you will ever make, so it is of vital importance to get it right.
