What are Cashback Mortgages and How do they Work?
In essence, a cashback mortgage gives you an incentive to choose this product, with a cash payback. You can choose between multiple different types of offer, each of which will differ with the lender, and the incentives available.
There are also terms and conditions about the cashback incentive, so it's vital to understand how this impacts your overall costs.
Usually, you get the cashback when the mortgage completes. Your lender must let you know what the cashback value will be, when it will be released, and what the conditions are.
In some cases, you get the cash as a lump sum via bank transfer, and in others, it is sent to your solicitor and used to cover their fees.
