Feb. 3, 2011 - PRLog -- The calculator.co.uk online mortgage app lets consumers instantly find out how much they can borrow and the estimated cost of repayments.
The site strips away all the financial mumbo-jumbo, ifs and buts that are so confusing for most consumers to tell them exactly what they want to know.
All the consumer has to do is input the answers to just seven straightforward questions about their income, credit repayments and the borrowing requirements for the new mortgage (1).
Calculator.co.uk returns the instant answer – and is ready to go to work again.
Adjusting the figures to compare loans and repayments is easy with the mortgage app's simple slider interface.
No fuss – just a quick and easy mortgage app
For consumers who want mortgage advice, an online form is available at the touch of a button that puts them in touch with an experienced and knowledgeable consultant.
Free download guides highlight the key differences and explain the technical terms for key types of loan, like fixed, tracker and variable rate mortgages.
What's more, no-one has to sign up to the site or type in a password whether they use the mortgage calculator once or a thousand times.
Calculator.co.uk satisfies demand for information about mortgages from the 135,000 internet users a month who search online for the term 'mortgage calculator'. (2)
“We thought simply giving people the information they are searching for about mortgages without any fuss or bother was a great idea,” said Daniel Brown from calculator.co.uk.
Compare thousands of mortgages and remortgages
“Most people want to know how much they can borrow and how much the loan will cost, so we tell them. If they want to find out more, they can, but there's no obligation to do so and no one collects any user data.
“Our aim is to give consumers the information they need to make an informed choice about the best mortgage to suit their personal financial circumstances.”
The mortgage calculator compares products and prices for thousands of mortgages for first time buyers, movers and buy to let landlords. The calculator will also help homeowners find the best remortgage deals.
Mortgages are just the first of several online calculators lined up for the calculator.co.uk personal finance comparison web site.
Coming soon are more helpful apps to help with finding personal loans and the best place for savings.
