What is libor?
Libor stands for the London Inter Bank Offered Rate and is the main setter of interest in the London wholesale money market. Unlike bank rate, which is set directly by the Bank of England, Libor rates are set by the demand and supply of money as banks lend to each other to balance their books on a daily basis.
Libor covers lending from overnight up to 12 months and is used to price all kinds of financial instruments such as loans and floating-rate mortgages. Loans in other currencies are also priced relative to Libor.
Key features:
-
Minimum loan of £400,000 (or currency equivalent).
-
3, 6 and 12 month Libor Interest Periods available.
-
Borrow up to 70% of the professional valuation of the property or of the purchase price, whichever is lower.
-
Option to repay your mortgage early.
-
Choice of interest only or repayment options.
-
Maximum of 10 properties per applicant(s).
-
Rental Income must equate to a minimum 125% of the annual (interest only) costs based on the actual Pay Rate
-
Tenancy - must conform to Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST). Company Lets will also be considered. Multiple tenancies and ex-local authority properties are excluded.
-
A link must exist between the applicant's personal circumstances and the currency of the mortgage requested i.e. a proportion of their income and/or assets must originate or be held in the currency of the mortgage requested.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. Changes in the exchange rate may increase the Sterling equivalent of your debt.
