Interest only Mortgage

I am about to purchase at £205,000.00 and putting down 25%
I have been toying with the idea of getting an Interest only Mortgage but not sure. Can anyone suggest what they think is the best options out there.

You'll find that a lot of lenders will not allow a pure interest only mortgage at the moment. They will expect to see some sort of repayment vehicle ( endowment/ISA/ pension etc) put in place.I am a Mortgage adviserYou should note that this site doesn't check my status as a Mortgage Adviser, so you need to take my word for it.

Thanks.
I did find that out with the Nationwide who were not helping their own cause and seem to want to tie you up in paperwork. I have the necessary Insurances in place but have not bought for a while and just unsure of the best bet. I know it is a gamble on the rates etc. and obviously there is whether to go fixed or tracker. I am swaying towards fixed 3 years?0
