Mortgages mortgages mortgages!

As I am buying my flat under Right To Buy I had got as far as deciding on a 3yr fixed rate on an interest only mortgage, but have now noticed that some mortgage search engines offer the option of a mixed mortgage - part interest only/part repayment. Are these new? Are they any good? How do the repayments work?

    part and part mortgages are just how you repay your mortgage - it is possible to have a fixed rate on p&p. You decide the element of interest only and repayment.

    examle would be 100k mortgage - 30k interest only, 70k repayment. You would have 30k then left at the end of the term however your monthly costs would be cheaper
