What is an interest-only mortgage?

With an interest-only mortgage you pay only interest on the amount borrowed. You do not make any principal repayments during the term. At the end of the term, usually after 30 years, the full amount must be repaid in one go.

The lowest monthly payments of any mortgage type

You pay only interest, with no principal repayment. As a result, your monthly payments are lower than with any other mortgage type.

Tax benefit

The interest you pay on an interest-only mortgage may, under certain conditions, be deductible in your tax return. This can deliver a substantial benefit, depending on your personal situation.

Please note: you are responsible for repayment yourself

Important

At the end of the term, the full mortgage amount must be repaid. This can be done by selling the home, using savings, or by taking out a new mortgage. Be aware that new mortgages may only be interest-only on a maximum of 50% of the property value.

Combining with other mortgages

An interest-only mortgage can be combined very well with other mortgage types. You can keep one part interest-only and repay another part, for example through an annuity or linear mortgage.

Frequently asked questions

Can I still take out an interest-only mortgage?
Yes, but stricter rules have applied since 2013. Only a maximum of 50% of the property value may be interest-only. We are happy to review what is possible in your situation.
What happens at the end of the term?
After the term ends (usually 30 years), the full amount must be repaid. This can be done by selling the home, using savings, or taking out a new mortgage.
Is the interest tax-deductible?
Under certain conditions, mortgage interest is deductible. For mortgages taken out after 2013, the deduction only applies to the portion that is being repaid. We will advise you on your specific situation.
Can I combine an interest-only mortgage with another type?
Yes, that is in fact a very popular option. You can keep one portion interest-only and repay another portion through, for example, an annuity or linear mortgage.
Do I need to take out a life insurance policy?
Some lenders require term life insurance with an interest-only mortgage. We compare the terms of all providers for you.
