The wider assessment
Make the repayment strategy specific
The discussion covers the proposed term, loan-to-value, property, income and the asset or event intended to repay the capital. We test the evidence, timing and concentration risk rather than treating a future sale or investment growth as certain.
Interest-only borrowing leaves the original capital outstanding and the repayment strategy must be accepted by the lender. Investments and property values can fall; a future sale may not produce the amount required.
