Pension Plan
Using a pension plan to accumulate the balance of your mortgage is a tax free saving scheme. The balance of your
house will be saved over a period of time until you can pay your final balance. If you do intend to use a pension
fund to save for the balance of your house, consideration should be taken into account to open another pension
fund for retirement purposes too.
ISA Plan
With an ISA plan you invest in stocks and shares via an Individual Savings Account (ISA) - which is a tax-free
method of saving. This method of saving may not be suitable for most borrowers. Before considering this option you
should consult with an independent financial adviser.
Endowment
An endowment is still the most common type of interest only mortgage which also provides life assurance cover and
a fixed payment for investment. The endowment policy along with the interest only mortgage should in effect end
at the same time, leaving you with the ownership of your home and nothing to pay. Endowments have undergone
much criticism; this is due to investors being promised high returns from their investments. However lately this has
not been the case, borrowers have found their investments have been as good as expected and a shortfall in the
end amount of invested cash will not match the amount owed on the current property.
Taking into account the recent problems that have arisen regarding endowment policies it is worth remembering
that returns on endowment policies have been pretty good, however you do need to see the term out in full. Also
endowments do provide life assurance as part of the actual policy, so in the unfortunate event of a death the
mortgage balance is paid in full.
Advantages of an interest only mortgage
• Your investments and savings could accumulate more than the required amount to cover the final payment; this
could leave you more cash for your own personal use.
• Some plans have good tax benefits and help reach the required amount it a quicker and cheaper rate.
Disadvantages of an interest only mortgage
• In the unfortunate event of your investments not acquiring the designated amount of cash to cover the loan
repayment, the investor could face a shortfall which they will then need to pay. If you are worried about a shortfall
on your investment, you should keep in touch with your investor and request regular updates on the situation of
your endowment. If the worst comes to the worst, you can increase payments to compensate for the loss of
investment.
• Cashing in your endowment, ISA or pension could have adverse effects on the amount of money you have saved
over the past however many years. If you do decide to cash in any existing policies you may be subjected to a
penalty, this could be a cash amount specified by the investment company/lender. Please seek professional advice
if you are worried about the end results of your finances, don’t be too hasty as most policies accumulate more of
the cash in the final year

Not sure read some mortgage tips on this site
To understand you need to know that when the term note and mortgage is used in financing a house they are two separate instruments.
The note is the agreement that is signed with the lender promising to pay the amount owed on the loan and under what terms.
The mortgage is the agreement signed by the borrower and any other person on the title giving the lender the right to proceed in a court of law against the title holder/s interest in the property and either have the property sold at auction or acquire the property themselves for the amount owed for purposes of satisfying the debt created by the note if the amount of the note is not collected upon demand.
Armed with that knowledge the person on the note borrowed the money and is obligated to pay the amount on the note. The persons on the mortgage have signed an agreement allowing for the possibility that if the note is not paid they will give the lender the right to take the property away in satisfaction of the uncollected amount on the note.
Check the federal government website (link below) that includes a lot about buy a home and home ownership.
You are represented by an attorney? I hope.
I wonder if your lender knows what he is talking about. Ask him for further explanation until you are satisfied that you know what it is you are signing. If you must go to his location and review the documents, by all means, do so.
But back to the lawyer, for the few hundred dollars you will spend on a good lawyer to help you with purchasing a home, it is cheap when compared to what you are going to be spending on the property.
The "Note" refers to the promissory note executed when a mortgage is created. It is signed by the borrower(s) and the lender.
The mortgage deed on the other hand includes all parties to the transaction including the guarantor. When the borrower, goes in default, the first recourse to the bank is the borrower (i.e. the party who signed the note), 2nd recourse is (any) guarantor(s) on the mortgage deed, and finally, liquidation of the collateral.
Answer 2 is correct.
The note is the obligation to repay the loan.
The mortgage is the document that ties the property to the debt.
Make certain that you are in title as an owner of the property with rights of survivorship. The title company or title attorney can verify the names on the Deed are as you wish them to be.
