Gutting the mortgage.
One of the greatest unsolved mysteries of criminology English was the identity of the famous Jack The Ripper, and that among the suspects we find members of the British royal family, the doctor of Queen Victoria, a young lawyer, a businessman Liverpool, a Jew and a psychotic impressionist painter.
Fortunately, 6 years ago the writer of mystery novels by Patricia Cornwell, did not have anything else to do and gave to invest $ 4 million to reach the conclusion that the notorious murderer was Walter Richard Sickert, 28, a prestigious painter of the time.
Patricia, had the patience to buy up to 30 paintings of the artist and analyze them in search of traces of DNA but is not that painting is a good preservative. However, the writer did not give up and finally after much searching, found him in a letter from his wife (you know, never utilicéis language for hitting an envelope) that matched the genetic material of the murderer.
Without doubt, Jack was a guy who liked to go to parties and blog we have here in our professional Ripper, whose victim today, is the mortgage. So I switch to the article written by Oriol.
Today I wish to comment on how the shares of a mortgage to take a little awareness of the pros and cons of the government's proposal to help the unemployed, postponing for two years for 50% of the share mortgage.
The mortgage is a repayment of capital. Each payment is decomposed in a part of a separate interest and repayment of the nominal. We must be clear that each share will be paid interest on which is due during the last period. Nor on what is paid this month, not on the original debt. The structure of the payments may have several forms, but I will focus on two, the simplest and most common, and this will put an example with the following information:
Capital: 180,000 €
Fees: 360 (30)
Interest: 5% (we assume fixed interest, because it is conceptually the same)
Monthly interest: 0.416667%
1 .- Amortization of capital
This system is not used regularly but is the most simple and will help us see clearly how it accrues interest. In this case, the party repaid at each share is constant, so the duty less and less money, every time there is less interest burden and the share is decreasing.
In the period "0" give us the money, so there are outstanding 180,000 €.
In the period "1" we pay the first installment. The amortized in the share capital is € 500 (180.000/360) and interest are due to have cost € 180,000 over a period (one month in our case), with an annual rate of 5% (which would be the monthly 0.41667%. Interest is then 750 € (180,000 x 0.0041667). After paying the first fee of 1250 € (500 +750 = capital + interest) I have € 179,500 to the bank, so that the interests of the following share were calculated on this new amount of debt. 747.92 (slightly less than before because I have less), then the fee is € 1247.92 in (capital + interest) and so on. (See table)

Observe that in recent assessments, the interest is very low, as they are, for example in the past, due to be € 500 a month. The shares were also lower for the same reason.
2 .- quota steady or French system.
First, argue that the name had nothing to do with negotiating the differential carried out under the table. Is the most common, where the monthly fee to pay is constant, then, bearing in mind the statement I gave to the principle that "in each period are paid interest on the total that had been due during the last period," we see amortization of capital should be variable over the life of the operation so that in each period, capital + interest, is a constant. To meet this "magic number" that meets these assumptions, it applies the following formula: (Excel has incorporated the role as "payment")
If we apply this formula to the previous case, we will see that the fee payable for the lifetime of the transaction, will be € 966.28
In the period "0" give us the money, so there are outstanding 180,000 €.
When you reach the period "1", the first thing that will "pay" are those interests, 750 € (180,000 x 0.0041667), and by difference, we took that capital will be repaid € 216.28 (966.28 - 750), and so on. Are calculated interest earned that month (which is due by the monthly interest) and what gives, is subtracted from the share capital to hear that I'm retiring on each share. At the start is something as well:
As you can see, the retired capital is higher in each period, because as I have ever fewer, ever pay less interest, and as the quota should be constant, amortizaré more and more capital, until in the final assessments was almost all capital .
Since we are, argue that the gaps (which would be tantamount to paying the mortgage with infinite time) on this mortgage would be a quota of 750, which would correspond to pay only the interest generated by the 180,000 € and without anything to amortize capital. Besides, for those who believe that extending deadlines is the solution to everything, notes that even though the deadline alargásemos (35, 40, 50 or unlimited years), the quota could never be less than 750 €, because of pay least, we would be accumulating new debt by not covering the interest.
And right at this point is lame in aid proposed by the government. Take the example of reference, and that you pay and left him unemployed leading 24 catches fees (2 years).
Let's see what happens if the mortgaged pays half the mortgage share, and does not cover the interest.
A) If the difference is paid by the state can pass two things:
- To be kept the same term of the mortgage, which will be 312 months (360-48) to repay the € 174552.82 to be at the beginning of the period of deferment, so it would be a quota of 1000.79 €
- You live long term of the mortgage 2 years, bringing the share will continue to € 966.28 but end up being paid to the 32 years of the start of the mortgage.
B) If this difference is assumed by the state, but that will accrue as debt, we see that once the deferral should be more than at the beginning of the mortgage: 180702.30
In this case we also found two possible scenarios:
- The deadline to keep him engaged, with what he has to pay € 180702.30 quotas on 312, which is a fee of € 1036.05
- You live long term of the mortgage 2 years, bringing the share would be € 1000.32 but end up paying at 32 years of the start of the mortgage
Then I come to mind several questions:
- Do you think that members of the government announcing these measures have been raised these issues? I would like to think so.
- Who will assume the interests not covered by paying only half the share mortgage? Are the banks as a good Samaritan? Do mortgaged "desamortizando 'already amortizing capital? Does the state with money for everyone?
- If the state assumes the cost of unpaid interest of the people who pay more interest on share huh are incurring moral hazard blatant? What will the next generation when you see who helps the state?
