Put simply, a fee-free mortgage is one where you don’t have to pay the lender an arrangement fee. This can sound very appealing. However, fee-free mortgage deals often come with higher interest rates than those where you pay an upfront fee. This means that over the course of the loan you could end up paying more. Lenders usually offer a choice of both fee-free and upfront fee deals – typically £995 – for most circumstances. You can add the fee to your loan, but this will result in you paying interest on it for the entire term of the mortgage.
So, is it more cost effective to have a higher rate mortgage with no fee or a lower rate mortgage with an arrangement fee? Our independent team at Vincent Burch Mortgage Services will help you find the most appropriate answer and guide you through the mortgage maze.
