Jan is still having extreme difficulties in posting. I am actually sitting here with her at the moment. So, I am going to post an email she sent to me recently which is what she was going to post. Please contact Jan directly for more information, but she is saying that although the developers mortgage is low on initial fees, in the long term it would appear to be a more expensive option. She can explain more when you contact her. She needs to know exactly what you have been quoted by the developer so that she can do the research to give you a comparative and competitive quote.
So here are the options she has sourced thus far:
Sorry for the delay in responding to you all, however we have carried out considerable research to ensure accurate and comprehensive advice is being given. As discussed previously, Murcia-Golf customers can save on initial set up fees if you choose to go with the builder's mortgage, however real savings may come through a cheaper mortgage product:
- not only in terms of rates
- but also on loan amount (we can lend up to 90% of the valuation price as opposed to lending on the purchase price that Bancaja may offer)
- and flexibility, in terms of both
lower early repayment penalties
and a higher interest only period.
So you can have an idea, Abacus Financial Ltd can offer:
