Interest-Only vs Repayment — £200,000 Mortgage
Many landlords and some buyers use interest-only mortgages. Here is how the payments compare:
| Type | Monthly at 4.5% | What You Own at End of Term |
|---|---|---|
| Repayment | £1,112 | Property — mortgage fully paid off |
| Interest only | £750 | Property — but still owe £200,000 |
Interest-only reduces your monthly payment by £362, but you still owe the full £200,000 at the end of the term. You need a separate repayment plan (savings, investment, property sale).
Can You Afford a £200,000 Mortgage?
Most lenders will offer 4–4.5x your annual income as a maximum mortgage.

- Solo buyer: income of at least £44,444–£50,000/year
- Joint buyers: combined income of at least £33,333–£40,000/year
Other factors include: credit score, existing debt, deposit size, and the lender's affordability assessment.
