status mortgage. This is a type of loan is commonly
offered to people with adverse credit history, such
as people who have defaulted on loans in the past.
Lenders offering non status mortgages will often charge
a premium to cover their risk which may be several percentage
points higher than a standard mortgage. Non status mortgages
tend to be offered by specialised lenders, rather than
standard high-street banks or building societies.
This type of home loan may also have additional up
front fees and charges associated with the loan so it
is important to find out what you may be committing
to before signing anything.

payments are held at a fixed rate while the other is
variable.
Before deciding on this type of loan it is important
to make sure what is being offered meets your needs.
