Earlier, there were only the normal types of mortgages in which people were required to provide the document proof of everything related to their income. But later, the financial institutions and the banks realised that there are some people who don’t want to disclose their earnings to them while taking a loan. For them they came out with a totally different type of mortgages called the self cert mortgages.
In these types of mortgages, the applicant is not required to provide the income proof document before asking a lender for a loan. There are some properties of these self certified mortgages which make them different from the normal type of mortgages. First of all, these are self employed mortgages which can also be accessed by those who have bad or adverse credits. This directly implies that the risk associated with them is somewhat more than the normal type of loans and therefore the interest charged on these is also higher than the normal interest rates prevailing in the market.
In these types of loans, the rate is directly proportional to the percentage of the property mortgaged. That is, the lower the percentage of property you mortgage, the lower is the interest rate charged.
