Interest Only mortgages

Hi,

Do banks still do interest only mortgages with an option to make additional payments?

Thanks

    I have an interest only mortgage with Santander and I can overpay 10 per cent each year.

    If you mean interest only without an investment vehicle to cover the capital there are few options.

    Options in the current market that allow downsizing/sale as a repayment vehicle require minimum equity of £150,000 and more (and 50%), also minimum income of £50,000 and more.
