According to official figures, interest-only loans account for about 35 per cent of all mortgages issued in Australia. However, research by UBS has found that just 24 per cent of home loans are interest-only. Jonathan Mott of UBS says the discrepancy could be because many of these borrowers are unaware that they are not paying off the principal of their loan. The UBS survey also found that 70 per cent of people with interest-only loans reported having "moderate" or "high" levels of financial stress.
