Nationwide's long-term mortgage assessed

Tue, 27 Mar 2007

People considering a long-term mortgage option may be interested to hear about a new product overview from a financing industry analyst.

Julia Harris, mortgage analyst at financing website Moneyfacts.co.uk. has given her views on the new 25-year fixed-term mortgage from financial services provider Nationwide Building Society .

Analysing the package, she pointed out that the fee of £599, alongside a £200 discount for existing members, is "not out of line" with the charges imposed by other mortgage lenders .

And she praised the mortgage for being "fully flexible" and not including redemption charges after the first ten years of the mortgage .

Finally, she suggested that it could prove appealing to prospective mortgage holders looking to guarantee their monthly mortgage repayments.

"A fixed-rate can give borrowers additional peace of mind," she said.

"With many homebuyers stretching their incomes to the maximum, this long-term repayment stability may be just what they need."

Earlier this month, a report in the Guardian suggested that an extended-term mortgage is an "extreme mortgage" option that may become increasingly attractive to first-time buyers unable to afford traditional products.
