🏡 MORTGAGE TERMS EXPLAINED SIMPLY

Confused by mortgage jargon? 🤯

Here are 5 key terms every buyer in England & Wales should know👇

—

📌 FIXED RATE MORTGAGE

Your interest rate stays the same for a set period — usually 2, 3 or 5 years.

✅ Predictable monthly payments
✅ Protection from rate increases

💡 Ideal if you want stability and easier budgeting.

—

📌 TRACKER MORTGAGE

Your interest rate “tracks” the Bank of England base rate.

📈 Base rate goes up = your payments may increase
📉 Base rate goes down = your payments may decrease

💡 Can sometimes start cheaper than fixed deals.

—

📌 LTV (LOAN TO VALUE)

This shows how much you borrow compared to the property value.

Example:
🏡 Home price: £250,000
💰 Deposit: £25,000
🏦 Mortgage: £225,000

➡ LTV = 90%

💡 Lower LTVs often unlock better mortgage rates.

—

📌 AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE (AIP)

A document from a lender showing how much they may be willing to lend you.

✅ Helps you understand your budget
✅ Shows sellers you’re a serious buyer

💡 Also called a Mortgage in Principle (MIP).

—

📌 EQUITY

The part of the property you actually own.

Example:
🏡 Property value: £300,000
🏦 Remaining mortgage: £200,000

➡ Your equity = £100,000

💡 Equity usually grows as you repay your mortgage or your property increases in value.

🏠 What Landlords Can Claim as Expenses (Updated Rules) 📊

With ongoing tax changes and Making Tax Digital on the horizon, it’s more important than ever for landlords to stay on top of allowable expenses 👇

💼 Letting Agent Fees
Management fees, tenant-find services and rent collection costs are generally allowable.

🔧 Repairs & Maintenance
Routine repairs (not improvements) such as fixing leaks, repainting, or replacing broken fittings can usually be claimed.

🛡️ Insurance
Buildings, contents and landlord insurance are typically deductible expenses.

🏦 Mortgage Interest
Mortgage interest relief is now given as a basic rate tax credit rather than a direct expense deduction.

💻 Making Tax Digital (MTD)
Landlords will (from April 2026) need to keep digital records and submit updates through compatible software — accurate tracking of expenses will be essential.

📌 Staying organised now can make tax reporting smoother later.

Always seek professional tax advice to ensure compliance with the latest HMRC rules.
