What product is best for me?
This fixes your interest rate so that you have a stable monthly payment for a defined period of time, typically 2, 3, 5 or 10 years. This is ideal if you want to know exactly what your payments will be each month as payments are guaranteed for the term of the initial fixed rate period.
At the end of the fixed rate period, your mortgage will normally revert onto the lender standard variable rate or a base rate tracker, depending on the lender. This could mean that your mortgage payment will increase unless you secure another fixed rate product.
This is an interest rate that follows the Bank of England base rate so as this rate changes, so does your monthly payment. Monthly payments can go up and down. Typically, your interest rate is set at a fixed rate higher than the Bank of England base rate. For example, if your rate is at 1% above Base, then if base rate was 2.25% you would pay 3.25%. This will be for a defined period of time, normally 2 years but this can be as long as the whole mortgage term. At the end of the benefit period, you will normally revert to the lender’s standard variable rate. The benefit of this type of mortgage is that your payments can go down, but a downside is that they can also go up so budgeting for this is something to consider.
This is usually the rate you move onto after your initial interest rate ends and is set by each lender so often different lenders will have different standard variable rates. The lender can also decide when to increase or reduce this rate and it isn’t always in line with market movements such as changes in the Bank of England base rate. Typically, this is higher than any other rate so your payments can jump up significantly, but this mortgage would not ‘normally’ incur an Early Repayment Charge should you wish to either pay off a large lump sum of your mortgage or fully repay before the mortgage term ends.
This product is at a discount to the lender’s Standard Variable Rate (SVR). For example if the lender’s SVR is 7% and you have a 2% discount then you will pay 5%. However if the lender decides to change the SVR in line with business requirements or changes in the market then your interest rate and your monthly payment will also change.
