| An interest-only mortgage ultimately repaid by the proceeds of an endowment policy that is assigned to the lender providing the mortgage. The policyholder pays the lender's interest only, for the term of the mortgage. The sum assured, which is payable on maturity or prior death of the policyholder, is used to repay the mortgage. Policies are usually with profits (or low cost endowment), unit linked or unitised with profits and sometimes this provides some additional capital for the policyholder after the lender has been repaid.
