    Your mortgage is the amount paid for your residence. Financing is the amount of monthly interest assessed to you by the mortgagor for lending you the principal (Mortgage) on your residence. The time value of money is the concept that bind the two together as each payment period a portion of the payment made is first assessed to Interest, then taxes and insurance (escrow impound account) and lastly to the principal owed on the residence. In the beginning periods of a mortgage they relationship of interest paid is much higher than in the later years of the mortgage where this trend is reversed, being more of the payment is allocated to the principal than to the interest paid. This is of course assuming that the mortgage is carried to the full term period and not refinanced during the mortgage pay-off period. If this is the case then the trend will again assume the nature of more to interest than to principal. The mortgage again is what is borrowed by the buyer in order to pay off the seller and the mortgage company is the financing arm in the transactions and will have their name on the deed to the home as being in first position should a default occur during the repayment period and this ensures the mortgage company the right to repossess the home and the ability to resell the property to recoup any arrears and outstanding principal owed. Usually if any remainder is left this should be returned to the defaulting party given that all other associated allocations for taxes, insurance and related are paid to the respective parties which may be owed money due to the default.

    To clarify the mortgage is what is borrowed in order to finance the purchase and the mortgage plus the down payment that is made by the purchaser is what is paid for the residence.

      From my knowledge of the financial markets, put the biggest deposit down as you possibly can. In the UK the interest rate is based on your ability to repay, if you get a 90% mortgage (notice the word mort) in their because you have to insure the money (by the value of the property or a life insurance policy{ you really think a banks gonna be cut short} it's repayments are less than if you put 5% down as you have asked for a 95% mortgage now lets look at northern rock offering 125% mortgages (all i can say is you reap what you sow[ no hold no you win your banker is the BRITTISH GOV } but they are not doing mortgages anymore so borrow as little as possible.....
