A cashback mortgage loan provides a lump sum to the borrower when the mortgage is taken out. This may be a fixed amount or a percentage of the mortgage loan. Whether you’re a first timer buyer or moving home, buying a house can be an expensive time. Any extra cash to put towards a deposit, solicitor, estate agent or removal company's fees is very welcome. Whilst the cash up front may be tempting, it's important to weight up the full benefits of other types of mortgage loan, which may be better options for you in the longer term. 5, record 4, English, - cashback%20mortgage%20loan
