I'm trying to get my head around the figures...
"The loan is interest free for the first five years. From year six a fee of 1.75% is payable on the equity loan, which rises annually by RPI inflation plus 1%."
My tiny brain is struggling to work out how years 7, 8, 9... are calculated.
Is it:
Year 7 = 1.75% + (RPI +1%)
Year 8 = whatever you paid in Year 7 + (RPI +1%)
Year 9 = whatever you paid in Year 8 + (RPI +1%)
If that's the case and they keep adding RPI+1% each year then you'd be paying a hefty sum in the latter part of the 25 year term? Over 20% if I'm understanding it correctly.
