Would you take a mortgage over 40 years? π
Your parents might be in your ear saying no. Hereβs the thing π
π‘ Back then, houses cost about twice their salary
π· Today, first-time buyers have to borrow far more
π A 40-year mortgage term keeps your monthly repayment as low as possible
π‘ That can free up cash in the early years of your mortgage
The catch? The longer the term, the more interest you pay overall.
The fix:
β
Make overpayments when you can
β
Bring the term down when you remortgage
β
Remember your term isnβt locked in for life
Save this for when youβre working out your mortgage affordability π
