Installment loan

by admin on Oct.03, 2008, under Mortgages

How do you determine the rate of the loan?

To determine the rate you should consider the ‘amount of the loan and the annual interest rate. The amount of monthly payments decreases with increasing duration of years required to settle the debt. On the other hand, the total amount of interest increases with increasing duration of years required to settle the debt.

The installment that you will choose to pay each month depends on not only by their ability to pay, the interest rate and the number of years for which you are willing to pay.

The installment is certainly, together with the spread, one of the elements on which we focus when you are choosing a mortgage. Other factors to be considered and absolutely not to be neglected are the insurance costs, costs of administration and also the cost of collecting installment.

The rate can have a fixed rate or a variable. In the case of fixed-rate the amount of the installment is constant. You always pay the same amount from the contract to extinction of the debt.

The trend of variable rate depends on the variation of the parameter Euribor, which in light of the market may be cheaper but also more expensive, certainly more risky.

Spread of a mortgage

by admin on Aug.25, 2008, under Mortgages

The spread is one of the two components determining the interest rate for a mortgage. In particular, the spread determines a fixed rate loan while the spread annum determines the variable rate.

When banks will exchange money apply a quote that in Europe is called Euribor. The banks then buy or sell currency in which this rate is determined daily.

The banks of the management costs of their facility, the cost of practice, you must take risks for the whole operation, and we should also gain in terms of money. Therefore it is clear the charge applied in the provision of financing to a customer. This charge is the spread.

In summary the spread represents the margin that banks add to the base rate and represents the gain of the bank itself. In variable rate mortgages Euribor is the variable rate while the spread is fixed and unchanged for the duration of the loan.

As regards the fixed rate loans the spread is the fee applied to the benchmark IRS (Interest Rate Swap). In this case, the spread used to calculate the rate only on the day of signing the loan contract because then the interest rate will no longer undergo any modification.
