£150k over 25 years repayment = £978 @6%

For 25 years or 25 months the figures will remain the same for a given rate! Time has no bearing whatsoever on an Interest Only Mortgage.

Maybe to get on the property ladder at least, whilst they can't afford to pay repayment. That is a poor loaded question if I ever saw one !!

Looking for a Capital Gain ......

Lets say the House Price increases by 300% over the next 10 years - you can sell, pay off the original debt - clean up a massive profit.

If, in those 10 years, you have had someone paying rent which covers the Interest Payments - you have made a KILLING!!

Anyone without at least 4 houses are throwing a wealthy old age down the drain ........

Also you have added flexibility in choosing the repayment "mechanism", whether it be overpayment, or investment in stocks/ISA's etc.

The money you don't payout in the repayment part each month you can invest yourself and with your head screwed on you should be able to return a far greater sum than the original loan over the period. In addition a repayment mortgage is front loaded with interest so if you move companies within a short period you have made very little impact on the quantity borrowed.
